300D pulls HARD to left

Tried to search this one with no success.

My 85 MB 300D, when turning left, gets about 3/4 into the the turn and then dives hard the rest of the way. Likely front end parts, I just don't know which ones!

Tie rod ends?
.
Thanks All,
Bob

Ball joints and control arm bushings can contribute to that type of behavior, but so can a poor alignment.

Curious...does the car have equal turns from center to both left and right? Are the tie-rods of similar overall length to each other?

Please post the solution.

Good luck!!!
