2nd gear makes car swerve

[skyline_paul]

I have had my sky for about 5 months now and everytime i put the foot on the pedal and change to 2nd gear the car seems to swerve, and the steering goes to the right quite sharply. Is this normal considering its a rwd or is it because of my tyres??

Any way this problem can be rectified...seems kinda dangerous when specially when u give it and theres a car next to you

thanks guys

Sounds like the thrust alignment is out. Get a 4 wheel alignment done at a reputable tyre place with laser beams rather than string.

Getting a little sideways in a powerful RWD car is normal, so you may find it does it to a lesser extent after the alignment. But it shouldn't be anything too drastic, especially if you're going in a straight line.

LOL it depends really on the drving style. Sometimes I can almost go sideways into the next lane. Its pretty damn scary sometimes.. only happens at nigh tho weirdly!.. And Yeah i've gotten a 4 wheel alignment recently.. LOL

Lots of negative camber can also make straight line handling unstable. More stable in corners though

Hold on tighter :-)
