thats a good idea too, can pin point if it's tyres or suspension.

I would say that if the problem moved with rotating the tyres then you have found the source of the issue.

The biggest mistake people make tracking down a problem is changing multiple items in one hit and never finding out what was wrong. Make a list of possible problems and work through one by one. This will also give you a list to track through backwards if you get rid of one problem and start another.

Does your STI have a clutch type front LSD? It'd be that, either getting flogged out or low oil level.

Hmm.. MY05 STi
Under hard accelleration in first, I get pulling cycling from left right left right.
It's not launching but revs to say 4k and letting the clutch out so as not to stall or dump.
The road surface was not smooth.

Any ideas..

CUSCO replacement FTW. I've got a KAAZ 1.5way front LSD in my GC8 and it sucks the car through corners.
