Pull to the right could be tracking but start with tyre pressures. 4 wheel alignment - Tanvic tyres if you have one close by!

This part is known as the dog bone - Alfa Shop will be able to supply you one for less then £50 at a guess!

Can this be powerflexed anyone?

Very sure the dog bone will not be the cause of your car pulling right.

If the dog bone is bag be calling alfa shop tomorrow morning 9:01 - its a job that wants doing quick...This worn part will cause the engine to rock back and forth - could snap your down pipes.

This is the early version but with uprated bushes and the chassis mounted bush as well.

and a new standard one but you only get the arm.

i think it can be polybushed but it's not advisable as it's too harsh....
