When I accelerate light to hard my FD moves to the right. I have rotated the tires around and have proper pressure in them. There does not seem to be any damaged bushings but surely its hard to tell at this point with out unloading the spring pressure. The wheel bearings/hubs have a little movement and it seems to be equal on both sides. Is there something know to cause this? The car tracks straight when driving.

assuming proper tire pressures... 30 f 27r cold, ride height even, tires not to warn and your car goes straight w neutral throttle...

most probable cause:

1. a bad bushing. it would be most likely the front bushing on the lower longitudinal link in the rear on the right side. it might be the pillowball bearing on the rear of the same link. it is easy to check... jack the car up and remove the forward facing bolt at the rear of the link. 14mm. pull back and forth on the link and check for play. using 2 fingers do the same w the pillowball bushing. check both sides of the car.

check rear shocks for hydraulic fluid leakage.

the problem is in the rear. as it is torque related.

good luck and let us know what you find.
