Well today i was driving on the freeway, hugged a turn pretty fast, and right after I made the turn, my car started steering mad crazy to the left. I jerked the steering wheel with my strength to the right and pulled over. checked for any problems with suspension. I got back on the freeway, felt normal and as i was driving i noticed the car was slightly going to the left. When I vtec the car it goes to the left a lot, like the steering wheel prolly turns 20 degrees left. When i launch too, it does the same. Did i mess up my lsd or did my alignment get fucked up from the turn? someone please help me.! thanks

 

ttt

 

can someone please help me?!?! im in desperate need of help!!!

 

do the alignment first, since its cheaper then cheking the LSD and also good for ur car

 

do you have a front camber kit? if so, the bolts for adjustment could have not been torqued enough and allowed the upper control arm to slip...?

I do not have a camber kit, but for the alignment, i have to put the height to stock again. i should do the alighnment first tho i guess.

 

why do you have to put ur ride height to stock again? I did my alignment myself with my car lowered. your camber cannot be adjusted unless you have a camber kit. Your toe can be adjusted tho.

have you checked the axels? i've seen a couple axels with hairline cracks and the power gets absorbed in the axel, so the opposite side gets more power, much like torque steer.

ETA - As for the alignment, I wouldent bother getting one unless you buy camber kits. The Toe will usuially not make the car pull, only in extreme cases. Camber has the most effect on pulling.

 

Have you checked for brake drag?

There're brand new axles, but they can still crack?

 

anything can brake. low quality reman'd axles are not uncommon. brake drag is a possibility, though its an odd occurence since you were going around a turn. could be a caster issue. how many miles are on your car? i had a wheel bearing start to seize and the increased friction on my driver side caused the traction arm from my front cross member to pull further back and cause caster issues, and a hard pull to the left.

You do realize that defeats the whole purpose of an alignment. If you put it to stock height and get an alignment the alignment will be good for stock height. Once you drop it again you'll have just wasted all of your money because your toe will be throw all out of spec again. Anytime you are to get an alignment don't adjust your height.


BTW did you check your tires? Maybe you ran over a nail or something and one tire is low on air so thats why its pulling. Don't do just a visual test compare the psi in all the wheels.

how do u adjust ur toe? because my car goes slighlty to the left

 

That's what an alignment is for... When you go for an alignment you're having your toe and camber (if you have a kit) adjusted to oem spec. But if you really wanna try and do it yourself http://www.c-speedracing.com/h...t.php But I wouldn't suggest it since you don't seem to understand the basics of an alignment. Have you checked the tires yet like I suggested?

yeah, i have had my tires checked, i have too much negative camber for them, to align
