#19352, "car pulls to the right under acceleration (even after alignment)"




          

exactly what the subj says. any suggestions? It pulls a lil just drifting, but really pulls when i tromp on the gas (enough that it jerks the steering wheel sometimes). I don't have power steerin at the moment either and it seems like the steering will get stuck as i'm turning too... like it gets caught in a place, ya know? anyone else have any similar problems?



Anyone know anyone who can help me tune this in the Pittsburgh area (Greensburg)?

At first I thought you were describing torque steer... but I reread it again and I don't think it should pull to the right when it's drifting. Maybe it's uneven tire wear?

Sounds like there's air in the steering rack. Did you completely flush the power steering fluid?

Yeah I'm thinkin torque steer too, but uneven wear or air in the P.S. could also be a concern.

hmm.. actually it is to the left now that i think about it. i know some of it is probably due to torque steer, but if i'm just driftin it still pulls pretty good. I didn't flush the PS fluid.. guess i'll have to do that soon. I just readjusted my rear camber today so i'm gonna take it back to the alignment shop sometime soon and see if that helps.



Anyone know anyone who can help me tune this in the Pittsburgh area (Greensburg)?
