Hey guys.... I've been experiencing a little change in my S2. When I accelerate, I feel the *** of the S twist alittle bit. Anyone have any suggestions on this problem or experiences?

Thanks!

 

you have shitty tires...or check your pressure.

 

The most likely answer is that there is a small difference between the total spring rate on one side of the car and the other. This could be from air pressure, tire composition or diameter, spring or shock fatigue, or broken/damaged suspension components (sway bar, links, etc). Check the tire pressure first.

Or, your alignment can be off.

Finally, your rear diff is mounted in bushings that may be worn.

Does the sway move the steering wheel?

All wrong.

The sensation you are experiencing is called "torque", something most honda owners never get to experience sadly .

check S2000 for Turbo, this is most likely the cause of your problem

Actually, in terms of the dynamics of the car, he is spot on.

The spinning of the tires is caused by the power, but the movement of the car from one side to the other is due to an inbalance between left and right suspension components, as he said, whether it is from tire pressure or not is for the OP to figure out.

 

We are talking about the S2000, right? If so, then it really can be "torque", now can it?

just kidding: "torque" is actually what is causing the difference in total spring rate to be noticed in the chassis.

Or, if there is something screwy with the alignment, the squat of the rear end under acceleration may be causeing a minor shift in toe, which could cause the sway.

 

Hey Guys:

I had a feeling it had something to do with the tire pressure in the rear, but I wanted to prepare myself for the worst case scenario.

I finally had a chance to play around with the car yesterday and found out the driver's side rear had a much lower tire pressure compared to the passenger side.

Thanks for all your comments!!
