12693, Car likes to wander around Posted by skinny_one, Oct-13-02 10:47 PM
What would cause that? I already had an alignment done. It sometimes likes to pull left and then I hit a small bump or two and it wants to pull to the right. I also have a knock and a bump on the steering wheel when I accelerate. Kinda scaring me. I really want to get rid of this problem. Help guys.

well, i dunno about pulling seft, but i belive our cars have a tendency to pull to the right since thats what side the engine is on, someone correct me if im wrong here. dunno about that other thing though, might have it looked at.

Our cars like to pull to the left(torque steer).If your steering is shifting(pulling) back and forth I would take it in and have a shop look at it.The farther you lower a car the more torque steer you have,because it straitens out the transaxle.

I hit a concrete divider that is about 6-8" head on at about 40 mph. I got the frame fixed and now I have this bonk whenever I accelerate. I think I messed my rack up or I screwed up a tie rod. Tonight I hit a decent size bump on the left side and I heard a loud POP. It was really loud. I also heard this pop when I get on it and I do some wheel hops. I really want this problem fixed.

I dont know if this is my problem. But they stuck my rear motor mount inserts above the rear two bolts on the cross member. Can we say JACKASS?

I think its just the nature of the beast..... Have the recall done? Blown shock maybe?

may sound odd, but would a (f)strut bar help rid the steer?

12701, RE: Car likes to wander around Posted by skinny_one, Oct-18-02 03:17 AM
The strut bar only stiffens the frame as to reduce the flex of the frame in a turn.
I believe my motor is moving due to the crossmember that the front motor mount is connected to is loose. the motor keeps on changing position and thus makes it steer all over the road. Also, the motor torques to the back when you accelerate right? I believe it pull the crossmember up and it contacts the frame pretty hard, and that should be the reason that I feel a bump on the steering wheel when I accelerate.

I found out today that my core support is messed up. The bolt holes are stripped and its bent. She'll be in the shop for a while now. I think I need to buy a 10 speed.. lol.
