I own a '97 Corsa Sport with a full Bilstein suspension kit.

Over time, my handling seems to be getting worse. It's got to the point where the car tends to pull to either side of the road on its own (mainly affected by camber I think), and is generally pretty dangerous. Could this have anything to do with my suspension bushes? Been running the Bilsteins for about 15 - 20,000 miles now, would these have caused premature wear to the bushes? Or may it be a problem with the actual susp. kit?

Cheers in advance, Nesh

Could be many different things. Bushes, worn shocks, camber, tracking, unbalanced tyres....

go and get the tracking done if its not been done recently, 4 wheel alignment is best.

Okay, could bad tracking also cause the car to veer more than normal under heavy braking?

If its just under braking it could be warped discs.
