I decided to put 225/40/18 Falken tire on the Workemotion CR Kai wheel.
Bronze color not really good match with the RR color but overall I like it!

After I put a new wheel with the tires, I feel that my handle keep moving to the right side.
So I thought I need an alignment. I took it to the NTB and they have done my alignment. And still moving to the right, So I will take the car to the tire shop to do a balance and rotate the tire.

And one more I notcie that, everytime I hit the gas pedal, my handle moving to the right more! So I am guessing engine mount is wrong or something?

Do you guys think that dealer will cover the engine mount with the warranty?

And my battery is problem again. I havent drive my car for three days and battery is gone. So I let Pep Boy's check my battery and they said defective battery...
I called honda and they said bring it in then they will replace...

I think I should just keep the extended warranty...haha....

 

I bet the car's handling isn't as bad as your english or typing.

But you shouldn't be checking the car's steering or alignment while hitting the gas or accelerating due to torque steer. And if your alignment is only slighty off, a road test is not the best thing to do to try to detect it. Most roads are constructed with a slope to help drain water from the surface. So cars often feel like they are "pulling" because of the road's slope.

Also check the air pressure. Cars that have lower profile tires are more sensitive to pulling when the air pressure is low or uneven between sides.

 

Bronze on Rally Red looks awesome. What are you talking about?!

Like AJP said, most roads are crowned so you need to pick level roads to test on.

I don't see how it could be the engine mount. An expired mount feels like a bucking bull under your hood with throttle inputs (depending on which mounts).

Several other people have been complaining about their cars pulling to the right. Try looking for the link.

 

Thanks for your opinion!
I am still learning more English ... lol

But why hitting the gas and move to the right so bad???
I can see the handle moving to the right.
Yeah tomorrow morning I will go ahead to check the balance, air pressure and rotate too. I guess final option is to take the car to the dealer??? lol

 

i would take the time to rotate your tires from left to right, you may have a tire with a radial pull, if its not to bad switching from side to side will make a big difference since most roads are crowned the car will want to drift slightly to the left which will be offset by the crown, and will make the car feel like its driving strait

 

Alignment has been done, took it to the dealer and check out the suspension and nothing wrong. Balance the tire and rotate the tire.

Still pull to the right side.

I am guessing maybe the tire?

 

I put the stock wheels on the front only and runs good without any problem.
So I rotate the tire from the rear to the front and runs good!

Does Discount Tire need to replace to the new tire?

 

A sloped road wouldn't make your car pull to the right anymore than a level one except for if the wheels were turned or out of alignment...lol. Since I know I'll have to explain it further because you'll insist I'm wrong, here you go;

Think if you are going down a straight road that is crowned for drainage with your hands on the steering wheel, at what we will call Top Dead Center (TDC). At TDC, the wheels should be perfectly aligned and the car doesn't pull to one side. If it does, then there is something wrong with the car. You could drive on a road with a 45 degree slope, and as long as your tires are decent and the wheels are aligned properly the car will go straight.

If you drove down Daytona International Speedway's front stretch and didn't steer when you reached the first corner, your car would go straight into the outside wall. It wouldn't magicly steer itself around the corner. Those corners are banked at 31 degrees, just a tad more than the 2 degrees of crown on roadways.

 

If you put the old tires back on, and the problem went away, most likely you have a bad tire. I've seen new deformed tires, and some have cord separation internally. I'd take the tires back to discount, and have them look at them while spinning on the balancer.

 

lilburn huh? i graduated from parkview back in the day and im around there every now and again at my parents. sorry for the thread jack
