Shanu Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 (edited) hey guys,have a question regarding car going to the right when accelerating hard.not the skyline i bought chaser yesterday didnt drive that much took it for a spin today the alignment out a bit as the car goes to the left when u leave the steering,but the thing am worried about is when i accelerate the car hard its pulls to the right and have to hold the steering as soon a i lift the foot back to the left(straight) but when am driving slow (cruising ) no issues.it pulls to the right when i accelerate hard.everything was closed today so didnt do the alignment.the question is will a wheel alignment fix the problem or could it be something serious? help would be appreciated Edited January 1, 2010 by Shanu Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/302127-alignment-issue/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ryan_ Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Check wheek nuts, check tyre pressures, get under the car and check condition of all bushes/ball joints(or get this done with alignment), Get alignment, Check ride height, What diff and tyres?

I more meant are tyres equal tread on each axle. Was it aligned after the ride height change? Check bushes/ball joints/alignment/Tyre pres.

_Ryan_ Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Its most likely alignment, but all the above are worth checking when you buy a car... Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/302127-alignment-issue/#findComment-5012084 Share on other sites More sharing options...
