I just purchased my Acura TL (Anthracite/Ebony/Nav) last week, and I love this car. I'm getting the A-Spec suspension installed this weekend as well...I'm hoping for improved cornering and less body roll (and the lowered 1 inch), although am not complaining about how it drives at all.

I have only one gripe though...I've noticed that my car tends to drift to the left slightly. I've read on other threads that other drivers have also experienced this too, due the the car being FWD. Is this something I'm going to have to live with??? When I take it in to get my A-Spec suspension installed, I will ask about this.

And all the information on this website/forum have been extremely helpful. I've already spent hours and hours reading up on all of your comments. Keep rockin fellas. I hope to contribute as well.

 

My TL tracks straight. My Legend has a slight drift to the left, but my TL is fine. Have them align it.

 

My TL also tracks straight. Drifting either left or right may be alignment and/or tires. Welcome to the board. There is a lot of valuable information to be gained from the experiences of others.

 

Just get an alignment. That should solve the prob. The toe on your car must be slightly off pulling it one direction... Dealer should do that if you just picked your car up recently for free...

 

Wait a couple of weeks for the tires to wear off the mold release and nubbies. If it still pulls, take it in. The alignment and/or the tires could be the problems.

 

sup folks, i've got about 1300+ miles on mine now and i've noticed a slight pull to the left too. it was perfect for the first couple of weeks and i just noticed it recently. funny, my salesman called me last night to see how everything was going...i'm driving down the highway again tonight so i'll pay more attention and see if it still drifts left...if it does, of course i'll call him and have them align it.

 

congrats n00b wise choice just like mine

 

Don't forget to check the air pressures in the tires. If they are unequal that can easily cause pulling/drifting to the left or right. good luck..

 

congrats and welcome to the forum. if you want better cornering and less body roll, considering getting the rear sway bar from comptech. by the way, nice color combo. i have the same. good luck with your ride.

 

thanks for the tips...i got my suspension package installed over the weekend, and of course they re-aligned my car. the drift is still there, but ever so slightly...not as bad as before...maybe i'm being too nit-picky? anyway, the dealership gave no explanation to why the drift was there, except to say that they realigned the car after the suspension install, and it shouldn't drift anymore.

as for the a-spec suspension, it dropped the car about 1/2 an inch, but that 1/2 an inch is noticable. when parked to my buddy's tl, you can definitely tell the difference. as for ride quality, the car is still smooth, but it's a little bit stiffer ride, which i like. when taking corners, the car just feels like it hugs the road better. definitely worth it.
