That's what was wrong with my Volvo 480 recently, except in my case, the
wishbone bushes were worn on both sides. This meant that it pulled right on
acceleration, and left on deceleration (and kept in a straight line when at
steady speed). It made changing through the gears when pulling away quite
'interesting', to say the least! :-)

Nice to find out at last BUT I think I'll leave it, £400's worth of car.
What with the noisy clutch, whinny gearbox, knackered engine mount and this
I'm suprised it works at all :-)
