Weird problems with ITR 138
Been having some weird problems with my car. I'll try my best to describe them to you guys.
First, when turning and moderately accelerating the car gets jumpy. For example. If I'm turning out of a side street onto a main road and pulling into traffic and I have to give it maybe 1/3 throttle. It feels as if the clutch is engaging and disengaging and jerking the car. Usually happens when there's a gutter or some kind of difference in elevation between the streets. Also, sometimes one of the tires will screech.
Next, when braking at high speed the car starts to swerve back and forth. I was driving on the highway doing about 100-110. And pressed the brakes to slow down to about 70mph. I didn't slam on them, but I wasn't lightly braking. The car started pulling back and forth. So I stopped braking and it stopped. It was pretty scary.. Any idea what would cause this?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks

Re: Weird problems with ITR 138 (iheartintegras)
alignment, Are your tires brand new, coul one of the balancing weights have fallen off?
another possibility is maybe one of your rotors are warped. which could give jerking feeling when you slow down hard.

Your first problem sounds like LSD.
Your second problem sounds like an alignment problem. Also could be how the road is shaped too. Dont necessarily think it is your car. Different roads will make your car react differently.

Re: (IntegrasAreBest)
I would get your vehicle aligned anyway since you have new tires.
As far as the potential transmission problem, dont take our word for it. The problem was vaguely described. If I were you, I would take it to the dealership or somebody locally who works on Hondas/Acuras.

sorry, thought you were saying that because of the whole swaybar bullshit..
I recognized the picture but didn't know why you posted it
I didn't notice anything on the drive home. Though I only drove on the highway 99% of the time.
As far as I know the LSD is stock, the original owner told me the motor was stock.
I also noticed starting a few weeks ago that there's a faint scrapeing sound coming from the front driverside wheel. It sounds like the wheel is hitting the fender liner, but I don't see any wear on the liner..

low air pressure can give u that jerky feeling, and a bad road. in nyc with all the heavy trucks and buses they expletive the road up so bad it will move your car even with out any steering imputs
