Default PULLS TO THE LEFT AND BACK WHEN THROTTLE. HELP!!!

I have a 04 s2000 and everytime i drive at about 50mph or somewhere there it swerves to the left and as u let the gas go it pulls back, and then again and again. tires have been aired up. the steering wheel does not turn the whole car moves by itself. feels weird. maybe its the tires or something loose, help.

I had the same problem, it was my tires. They were low on air after I filled them it was back to normal.

its always reccomended to get an alignment when you change the springs and shocks.

Used tires? Get new tires and I'll almost guarantee your problem will subside. I'll paypal you a dollar if I'm wrong.

if it was the alignment the car would pull to right or left. it goes straigh as i cruise at about 50-60mph then give it gas and it pulls to the left or shifts to left, and as u let it go it pulls back and drives normaly,

oviously the issue happens under engine load. If the rear tires are different sizes/pressures dramatically different, or the LSD is failing, this can happen.

when i lowered it i did not know u had to put on shaft spacers and drove around for a while, now i have them on but still think i broke the differential, i hear that if the shafts in the diff move that means its bad or something broke. could it be that.

That might be true if it had any power steering fluid.

e/k combo is better


it sounds almost like the car is one wheel drive....when he accelerates the driving wheel may turn forcing the car to the opposite side.....so maybe the diff is really fucked up? i dunno get a new S
