car pulling to the right when accel

[Rob878]

trying to find out whether this is more than just a tracking problem. Under any kind of acceleration the carf pulls to the right then straigtens up once power is reduced. ANybody got an idea before i pack it off to the garage.

tyre pressures? my tracking was out really badly and it was actually off the scale on the instrument they use to measure it! But my car didnt pull in either direction when accelerating or braking.

has it always done this or just developed it?

Could be torque steer when you floor it.

i thought about that as i used to get that on a turbo diesal i had but this. Slowly appeared and got progressively worse

Swap the front tyres side to side..

Renault did mine when they were half worn as I complained about the pulling and it sorted it.

ball joint ?



watch if you are swaping tyres round as you may have directional tyres.

Erm torque steer?

Wheel balance/Warped wheel/Camber out/Suspension components gone

Plus any of the above..its a case of checking everything.
