The symptoms: when braking the car pulls to the right, when accelating the car pulls to the left.
The brakes all look fine and have the same temperature after driving (i.e. nothing sticks). Must be something in the suspension - bushings/ball joint/tie rods. Maybe even subrafe busgings? The problem is that everything looks normal and I cannot figure out any free play just but pulling/pushing on the wheels with my hands.
One way to figure it out it is to get under the car while a second person engages a parking brake and tries to drive back and forward - that applies a lot of push/pull force on the front and rear wheels. Obviuosly it is not a safe approach so are there any other good ways to find the worn out suspension pieces?
Are there any bushings that wear out faster than others?
