I am sorry if this thread is repeated but I searched and could not find anything on what I am about to ask you.

I took my car in for alignment, the service was performed and I was told it was perfect. After driving for some time, I discovered that if I accelerate hard from zero or any low speed, it pulls to the right. In other words, the steering wheel turns by itself, a little. I do not know if this is normal since it is a FWD or if my car was misaligned.

Thank you very much.

 

Does this happen every time you accelerate? Only when full throttle?

 

thank you for your response.

It only happens when I accelerate 1/2 to full throttle. It will not happen at all if I accelerate lightly or even normally.

Of course thie is only noticeable when I am not grabbing the steering wheel. I just center it and accelerate.

 

It sounds like normal torque steer-- the TL is at the upper limit of horsepower/torque for a front wheel drive car.

 

Hmm, mine does this but only when I slam on the gas in 2nd...I think it is just some torque steer...
