Default Potential cause of front end pulling left/right ???

Recently my 90 c4 starting randomly pulling left/right.
Sometimes it will track dead straight for miles on end, then pull left for a few miles, then right for a bit, then back left and/or straight again.
Seems Totally random.


I looked at my detailed records and they indicate that all the bushings are original.
Has 124k miles on it.
Has HR green coilovers on 17" 205 fronts with 245's on the rear.
The rest of the suspension is stock.
No wheel shimmy, even under braking.
Tires are wearing evenly.
Tire pressures are even. Front 34, rear 36
Did not hit or run over anything recently.

Any ideas?
Thanks

Need to have someone look at it. Way too many possibilities to even guess at, could be anything from tires to worn parts, and there are a number of potentially worn parts.

Very suspicious for loose, warn suspension part. Put your car on jack stands, grab each front tire and jarr it forward, backward, see if there's any play anywhere. Do the same for the rear. Rear alignment issues brought about by warn components can also translate into driving anamolies.

Good luck, Jaime

When mine was doing that it was the rack binding up internally. I replaced it, and all was good. But I agree with the others, there are way to many possibilities.
