Ford KA steering problem

Car: Ford KA
Variant: 1.3 manual
Model Year: 1999
Categories: Steering, Suspension, Brakes, Wheels & Tyres
When driving the car the steering pulls to the right, making the car sway. I have checked the wish bones, one has a split in it. The car seems to go light when driving straight and pulls to the side.cPlease could you help?

Be best to replace knackered wishbone arm first and see how it is after that . Quite cheap from motor factors and easy to fit . Next , if still getting fault get a wheel alignment check .Could also swap wheels round and see if it alters pull .

check bottom arms as said, and if its a non power steering model check the steering joint between the rack and steering wheel.

Hello people. I have a 1999 Ford KA back in september 2010 my car was due for a mot test. it failed on the steering rack so i got the rack replaced and then i payed to get the tracking done. this past month my car has started to creek on the passenger side sounds like its coming from the wheel as sometimes if you throttle it with your hands you can slightly hear this creek. its more noticable are lower speeds as soon as i touch 30 - 40 it tends to disappear. if i rev quite high in second gear when i change to 3rd the car pulls slightly to the left. please could you help me on a solution thank you soooooo much.,
