Free Sex, Made You Look, Serious Question Inside!

Just Cliff · 03-05-2005, 07:36 AM

My car pulls to the left, it's not alignment, or balance, or tire pressure.

The car tracks straight when I let go of the wheel, or at least I think so, and it stops straight when I take my hands off the wheel and apply the brakes, or again, at least I think so.

The pulling happens when I'm acelerating, when I apply the clutch and shift gears, it seems to pull the car and make it wiggle a little, almost like a speed wabble.

I'm not tugging on the steering wheel when I step on the clutch and shift, because again, it happens when my hands are off of the wheel.

I know it's a good idea to drive with hands on the wheel, but I swerve less when I'm driving free ball. Just Kidding. Love my S2K, just wonder if anyone else has had this issue, and if there is a fix other than going to the factory shop and getting it tweaked. It's still under warranty if that matters, and it's an 03 S2k.

have you done any engine mods? could it be an engine mount? or the actual road you are driving on?

I've thought about maybe an engine mount, not really sure. I'll check with some mechanic buddies before I run it through the Honda shop and post my results here .

check that the rear upper and lower ball joints are not loose or worn or just damaged. also check rear diff fluid, i know this is a stretch, but if that diff is not working properly it will give another wheel more torque under acceleration and move you to one side. on a front wheel drive car, motor mounts would matter, but on this car it will just be a major vibration. also inside your inner cv (constant velocity) joints there are tiny teeth entering the diff that if get stripped (rare, really rare) can cause one side to slip and one side to grip causing that thing to get loose under hard acceleration. hope it helps...
