Driving down the motorway today, it became evident that when I press the accelerator (say in sixth at 3-4k RPM), the car noticeably pulls to the right. Lifting off lets the car go back to straight on, sometimes noticeably enough that you feel it in the wheel. This seems to be the case in all gears at all speeds, although it is more noticeable at higher speed because you're covering more ground in the same time.
I was on the motorway yesterday morning and didn't notice anything like this. I had my tyres changed afterwards (same E-marked GSD3s), so it seems mighty coincidental that this has come on suddenly. However, I can't for the life of me think why a tyre change would create this symptom? :?
I checked tyre pressures last night, the new tyres are on the rear (previous rears moved to front) and the car brakes in a straight line.
Any ideas? It's doing my nut in (and making me feel a little unsafe...) I've experienced exactly the same phenomena before, but that was in a DC2 with a knackered sub-frame bolt courtesy of a Spoon tie-bar, making it move around! I don't have tie-bars on the DC5 before you ask.
