At first i thought my passengers caliper was sticking and caused the pull but i replaced it and no change it pulls hard when i release my foot off the gas!! It does it weather am going slow or fast!! Its a scary *** drive knowing the car can make me end up in the opposite lane if am not carefull!!! Car has brand new tires that were balanced when mounted. A lil info on the car it has a b20v swap new axles integra brakes all around has stiff mounts car fax shows no collisions and frsme is straight!! Plz any info will helpp!

Alignment. Get one done.

95Sedan

yeah reason it's not doing it as bud under acceleration is because weight transfers to the back, it's not as obvious..

I would stop driving it and take it to a shop ASAP to check front end parts and do an alignment

JOSEP.TM101

If it was an alignment that it needed wouldnt it do it all all times? It only does it when i let my foot off the gas...car drives straight when im gassing it.

95Sedan

re-read my post... weight transfers to the back (not steering wheels) is not as noticeable..

im 100% sure of 3 possibilities: you need an alignment, some suspension parts are falling out/dry rotted, and or suspension/frame parts are rotted...

JOSEP.TM101

What parts will most likely neex replacement? I will take it to an alignment today and see what happens after.

Usually it's bushings that go first and need to be replaced. Easy way to find out is to jack the car up and look under it to see what they look like.

I'll put money on front lower control arm bushings being shot. Replace and align the car.

Tie rods usually

Tie rods on a civic last a LONG time. Bushings go bad first

Nehhhhhh.....not usually. Tie rods and ball joints seem to go first as long as the bushings were clocked.

A bad tie rod would cause this. It would toe in/out on accel and decel.

Although bushings are a good guess.



We shouldn't assume that OP checked his tire pressure or the tire itself, however

93egSLEEPER

I've had ball joints go, but never tie rods. But I did replace them when I put my Koni/GC setup on just to start fresh.

Tire pressure is a big overlook. Good call.

95Sedan

here's an idea, jack the front end up and see what's loose....

JOSEP.TM101

I jacked the car up shool the wheels and they didnt feel loose at all there was no play i took it to get aligned and stupid shop couldnt do anything cuz it was lowered am low but dam am not slammed either...

Had the tire pressure check at the shop all tires are at 51 psi like the tire says it should be

51 PSI is WAY too high! Bring it down to 32-34 PSI. 51 PSI is the maximum pressure the tire can handle.

Probably not the cause of your issue. I doubt the tire shop put the tires up to 51 PSI They most likely inflated them to 32PSi and you assumed 51PSi.

Unless there's a bunch of morons working there. Even then though....i highly doubt the 51 PSi thing. tire pressures are day 1 stuff.

Unless you explicitly insisted on 51 Psi? Or by "tire shop" did you mean you did it yourself at a gas station?

Had very same problem with my old 93 sedan. Ended up being lower control arm bushings. Bought the entire Energy kit for $150. Problem solved...

Try this.

On a straight road, with no traffic. (LET GO OF THE STEERING WHEEL).

= FULL THROTTLE / BRAKE CHECK / FULL THROTTLE / BRAKE CHECK
If the car is turning to one side upon full throttle, and turning the other way when u brake. Which i ever side it turns to your throttle it, is the side that needs a new FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHING.

Speaking from experience, had this problem for 2 weeks. It was killing me.
After you fix it, you need a wheel alignment. If you are on a hoist, be sure to check the arms to see if anything else was damaged, some stuff you can't feel until it gets worse.

Do it once, do it right.
If the arm is bent, changing the rubber won't help, it'll die again.
Also, check the bolts, see if they bent. Get it out and replace them.

Worst case scenario, you screwed your steering rack. Which is about as expensive as it'll get.
