My FD is pulling right when I accelerate(nose up), and left when I brake(nose down).

I am looking for suggestions on where to look.

I have been refreshing the suspension this summer, here is what was already done:

6 pillow ball bushings
2 jimlab trailing arm busings
2 rear wheel bearings
2 front upper spring mounts (rears appeared fine)
4 eibach pro kit springs
4 new tires
1 alignment per Pettit's long track recomendations

The suspension appeared solid when doing the alignment, no wiggle.


Possible suspects:
1) bent/cracked sway bar mounts : had shop doing alignment take a look at front suspension, they said everything looked ok... Could a crack be small enough to miss easily?
2) shocks : these are stock touring shocks. If say one is bad, would you get wierd steering input on acc/dec? They appeared ok(push down on car test...), but could they still be bad? I'm wondering about the front left shock...
3) diff bushings : shifter moves around a bit(motor mounts were ok as of last year when reman put in), so maybe this? Would it cause this kind of pulling?
4) .... anything else?

thanks.

 

Check the diff bushings, tires, and I would also have the wheel/tires re-balanced.
I had the same problem and re-mounting and balancing the tires cured it.

 

Me too.

 

4) anything eles?....I would check the PPF ( power plant frame ) broken or damaged.

 

Have you checked your rear tire pressure? Uneven pressure in the rear will also cause this.

 

I agree with wan. I had the same problem before.

 

I second to check your diff bushing...

 

i heard something about if a front bushing is bad it will cause this. your like supposed to stop hard at 5MPH then start again and see if the front wheel jerks.

 

Thanks for the ideas.

Yeah, the tire pressure occured to me too, and I checked and double checked it, so ruled that out.

Gonna jack it up tomorrow and inspect things(ppf, front bushings), and if I still can't find anything I'll probably try having them remount/balance the tires.

I'll update the results, and if anyone else has an idea, chime in.

 

Please let us know what fixes it. I think a lot of them do this.
