My car is pulling to the sides under acceleration
i noticed about week ago that when i do accelerate hard car pulls to the side on first and second gear... could be alignment ? or lower ball joint ? or what? and also when i turn my steering wheel and take of i hear clicking from axle i think could bo gone bad right ? the driver side thanks for help !

Whats up with RDX owners?

If the axle is clicking, replace it. If the joints completely seperate you can damage your LSD.
If the pulling is still there after the axle replacement, then check tie rod ends and ball joints.

I hit the curb at the bank drive through (don't even get me going!) and just replaced the right front rod, and a new lower control arm is going in sunday. The rod replaced most of the problem, but with the bent lower arm in place the car sits just a bit low on the passenger side, visible when the car is on level ground.

I have the exact problem. I have replaced both upper control arms, numerous alignments, chaged rims/tires, replaced both axles, changed lower control arms, radius arms and bushing. both outer tie rods, and have brand new tein coilovers. i just ordered a new sub frame to see if it fixes it, but it is driving me nuts. i dont know what it is, but it pulls to the right when accelerating. i have a 6 speed with lsd, so dont make sense?

equal length shafts, kinda, if you count just the section between the joints then yes
but when you include part #17, no way in hell are they equal length
and "before", are you talking about when you where at "stock" power levels, if so, the engineers had already compensated for the torque steer by varying how thick the axles are and such, but now with more power, that built in compensation is insufficient for your higher power levels

so is this something i have to live with, or something that can be corrected with a caster kit?
also, i am currently pretty much stock. minus the stage 4 clutch and light weight flywheel, yet it still pulls, even after replacing everything? the only other sympton i notice is a vibration while accelerating in first and second gear. I will take a video tomorrow and post it up to show exactly what occurs, and perhaps a better diagnosis can be made. also i will post my last spec sheet for alignment.

check you motor mounts first, motor may be shifting around too much, causing different angles and such with the axles, so the torque steer

to add caster on our cars, all you do is remove some shims:, but no that will probably not help at all (maybe a little, but not the source of the toque steer)(and i thought you were boosted :shakehead)

I have poly filled my mounts with 60a but have noticed that some have started to crack. so poor mounts can cause my issues of pulling towards on side? have no choice but wait to see what happens after i change the sub frame and someone releases mounts for this car

but the blower does not get in the way though of the manifold
and you said cracking, obviously overstressed, so motor is definitely moving around some
also try this (my thread )

should help with some of the motor mount issues, (not all, but some)

new nrg engine mounts, and see what that does as far as the vibration and pulling

i still have this problem but noticed that my steeringwheel start to shake around 50-70 not much but thats anoying. first thing i did was balance wheels with no effect than alignment. now i think it may be axles so they are next on my list. also pass side engine mount went bad.

anyways i would also check the front mount, cause it was also bad/very weak when i did my side front , so had to also do it, then when i had it out, and started playing it (not even disassembly yet eitier, it tore just like everyone else's does, so it was not long for this life eithier
