Car pulling to the right under acceleration.

[Dan 172]

It may just be because my tyres from the rear are now on the front and worn, but the car pulls to the right when accelerating in high gears.

The car drives straight, but when you put your foot down on the motorway in 4th or 5th the car pulls to the right.

The tracking has been checked and fine, so it may just be the tyres.

But could it be anything more serious?

pressures?

 

[Dan 172]

Pressures are fine, 32psi front, 30psi rear.

I use to run them higher as I do alot of motorway miles, so I've taken them down to help with this, but still no luck.

A bloke at work reckons a worn suspension part.

My 172 does it... Let me know if we get a definate answer... I have brand new FK Coilovers on so it cant be my suspension.. Just happening on Acceleration too.

 

[Dan 172]

I will do.

Going to get it booked into it's second home (The local dealers) to find out.

Mine used to do this too only under really hard acceleration

I don't mind under hard acceleration, but this just feels unstable on the motorway as you trying to correct it all the time.
