I recently have had my alignment done so hopefully it's not that. I just replaced my passenger side axle once again on my 97 accord lx and the car all of a sudden after replacing it is pulling hard to the right under hard acceleration. A test to check the alignment would be to go on a even road and put it in neutral and let it coast, well the car goes completely straight like that. It is mainly 1st gear that it does it in the worst in. P.S. The axle that I bought is a cheapo from my local parts store.

 

rebuilt axles = crap

sounds like the car is back out alignment, pulling hte knuckle off can do this
possiblly toed the car in

 

check your tire pressures beffore replacing the axles.

 

well, he said it coasts in neutral just fine without pulling, so it's not his alignment. My guess is the axle is crap and possibly binding which is causing it to create more drag on teh right side therefore pulling to that side under acceleration.

 

very well could be alignment, if the car has a toe issue it will not necessarily pull the car at a coast but as soon as you put steering and power inputs into it it will become very twitchy

 

Thats very true, I think I will go and have an another alignment done. Thanks guys!

 

are Accord axles weighted different for Right and Left? Are they different lengths for each side? I don't know/haven't looked.

Perhaps they gave you the wrong axle. I know some cars like VW's have one solid axle and one partly hollow axle. They do this to compensate for different lengths and balance.

 

they are two different axles, one has a different input shaft
