help req - pull under ANY acceleration-
ok- i blew the sidewall out of my PS2 on the front driver side-
----no rim damage.
relpaced all 4 tires with brand new F1-GS-D3's
----hunterforce balanced, proper and balanced inflation- reinstalled by me and torqued correctly.
now the car pulls to the right under ANY acceleration or speed (more noticeable at hwy speed)
if i take my foot off the gas - tracks straight.
also tracks straight while braking....
SO what could be causing this?
*did i damage the suspension or an engine mount?
*alignment damage?
*bad tire (s)
*???
also the LSD IS working...
help!

HOw bad did you hit the right side? I would either think allignment went out of wack or bent suspension part(s), depending on how bad. Tie Rod , ball joints... Just check the suspension out at a service shop.

Did you ever figure out what was causing this? I've had a huge saga with tires/this car and my latest problem is exactly what you are describing. Car pulls left under any amount of acceleration on the highway, even in 6th gear.

Your Frontend toe-in is off, when hit the curb it through your toe-in out off spec. You can't visually view it but you have the symptoms.

I'm telling you.....i had the same problem, someone had cut me off & I had to run up on the curb. Then I notice the car pulling slightly to the right during acceleration. My frontend guy put it on the rack he commented and said not that bad, he was surprise that I notice the change in the steering. Bring your TL to a frontend shop to find out what the problem is.
