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!

 

torque steer? any vehicle will pull w/ your hands off the wheel while accelerating. keep your hands on the wheel.

 

i tried to edit my original post but it was too late...

this is my 13th vehicle- i have over 67k miles on this car and this is my 5th set of tires-

I THINK I KNOW WHAT TORQUE STEER IS. it is NOT TORQUE STEER...


but thanks for the intelligent and witty reply...

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.

 

sorry, didn't know you were SO experienced w/ acura vehicles, cars in general, just a comment, that is what a "forum" is about...you wanted help, i merely suggested holding the steering wheel, thats all. didnt think you would take it to heart as you did.

 

i checked the suspension, i didnt see any damage- i also rotated the drivers side tires- no change... i will try the other side tonight as well...

i dont think it is a tire issue-
: (

 

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.

 

My alignment is spot on...it has been performed by two different acura dealers in the last month.

 

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.
