Re: car pulls right on accelerating



Heres somethin simillar that happened to me the other day on my cabby..
It had always pulled when I accelerated and I thought it was normal torque
steer.. Well the other day the A arm snapped and in the happening I just
barely made it to my house. It was amazing.. Now that its fixed no pulling
at all..

>I spent a long timeóabout 2 monthsómaking adjustments to my tie rods,
starting out with gross changes and ending with micro-adjustments. It
finally drives perfectly straight once I'm already moving. However, if I'm
stopped and I try to accelerate, the car often pulls (hard sometimes) to the
right. What could be causing this? It hasn't been wrecked, so I dont' think
that one of the wheels is pushed back or anything. I'm stumped. Need
suggestions. Thanks.
