Alignment Problems?
Just lately i was having some fun in a big mud pit close to my house. As i drove home from the mud, i noticed that my steering seemed a bit tighter than usual. And when i drive with no hands on the wheel, it will slowly drift to the right. I doesnt pull at all.... I mostly notice it if i change gears or have the clutch in with no hands on the wheel. I was just wondering if this would be considered an alignment problem, or if it is something that i souldnt worry about. I tend to get paranoid about these kind of things...

If you were in the mud youmight have some nastyness inyour drums! This will cause a pull! Try cleaning the brakes and see what the deal is... In reallity its probably your alignment!:pat:

In my experience its hard to mess up the alignment on the early IFS. I last had mine set in 99. I've wheeled the heck out of it since then, gained a couple of good dents in the IFS crossmember but it still tracks perfectly well.
Clean everything up really well. Look to see if maybe a piece of gravel is stuck between the back of a brake pad and caliper preventing the brake from releasing all the way. If that dosen't work then worry about it. Maybe you bent the idler arm or something.
