Whenever i accelerate on a uneven surface my steering wheel dives all over the place! Also when accelarating uphill. Ive got Cav wheels on it, so maybe something to do with them?

Yeah, will be the tracking. When I fitted my new steering rack, it was all over the place until I adjusted it properly.

or like mine, my wheels follow the camber of the road, if you hit a divert or go up an uneven road the steering wheel will pul to that side and can be hard to keep the steering wheel straight.

mine is caused by worn lower arm bushes and am getting them changed this month!

Its called tramlining in the majority of cases, i have 7 inch wide wheels and anytime the road camber changes so does the direction of the steering wheel have to hold tight and grin and bear it.
