I've never had a push problem with my Pro3 but i experienced it first hand with another pro3 that someone brought to the track. For atleast a month he had complained of pushing so I drove his car to see what he was talking about. Woah did it push bad!! After I recommended some setup changes and tires it still pushed miserably. My last two suggestions were to raise his front ride height (crazy huh?) because I felt the front was bottoming out and then pop the front shocks to see how free the suspension movement was. Lo and behold he found out the suspension was binding slightly against the front unhooked sway bar (on but not connected) and also the dogbone was hanging up a bit. He went out to the track and said problem solved- no push.
Moral of the story- It's all in the details
