i have a 2000 ej6 and today i noticed that the steering wheel is pulling to the right and the steering wheel is actually twitching. i have no idead what it is. i know i need to get a new passegner side axle so ill probably just get both sides new. any one have ne ideas? the car had an alignment done on it maybe 2 months ago and it doesnt see much driving.

 

Balanced or is it when your braking? Might be brakes...

 

its when im on the gas in gear. when i push the clutch in it goes away and when i hit the breaks it goes away. the wheels and tires are balanced so i cant think of nething else but the axle

could be the axles. do you have the right amount of tire pressure? also check you motor mounts for cracks.

 

the tires both have 30 psi in them and the mounts are fine no cuts or nething in them and there like a year old. could an axle do this? cause the passenger axle is really bad it clicks when i turn which is a tell tale sign of a bad cv joint.

your own reply owns you.
try getting a new axle.

 

lol ok i was just concerned that it may be a tie rod or something else in the suspension system. i have to go get parts tomorrow and i dont wanna make 2 trips if i dont have to u know?

 

could be your axle or brake rotors.

 

but it doesnt do it when i hit the brakes. only when im on the gas.

You know you have a bad axle....... you're having driveablity issues...... put two and two together here chief.

 

i've seen plenty of axle nuts that haven't been fully tightened do similar things. if you aren't getting your new axles within the week i would check this because it can cause premature wheel bearing failure.

 

^^^^ what he said


check that then replace BOTH cv axles. and if it continues, just take a peek under the car and look for anything obvious.

but if it is only doing it while accelerating or pressing the gas pedal sounds like axles if you can feel it in the steering wheel
