Hi - excuse ignorance but I am a newbie, having just purchased a 2003 Ducati 2.0 MWB to haul a couple of motocross bikes. At times the van pulls quite strongly to one side - the strange thing is that this is not constant, having turned sharply to the right, the van then pulls to the right, but on turning left, the issue is corrected - anyone any ideas?

Also, can someone point me in the right direction regarding how to set the radio to manual tuning, so that I can match this with an FM transmitter for my iPod?

Thanks!!!
 
Lower ball joints I think. Have driven one on a flooded back country road with same problem as yours, very scary when half way round a corner it digs in, and takes off where it wants to go, not where you aim it. The mechanic said it's quite common on the Ducs, and from memory it was ball joints

Hi Welcome to the FF
You might find that the thrust bearing plates on the top of the front suspension struts are worn this can result in the effect you are describing that is the steering does not self centre itself after being on full lock & then pulls to the side that has been on lock.
The CD Radio user manual can be downloaded from the Downloads section, the manual station tuning instructions are on page 13 or 14 depending on the version of the manual.
Cheers
