Steering wheel pulls when accelerating
when I'm driving the steering wheel pulls to the left when I'm accelerating and pull to the right when I'm decelerating. I've had a wheel alignment!! Any idea what it could be |
It could be tires or brakes
Hard to tell from my computer keyboard And from what little information there given |
ok I'll have tires and brakes checked

Keeping in mind that when accelerating the engine mounts have to move one way and when decelerating the mounts go in the other direction. With front wheel drive the transaxle is mounted to the engine and torque is applied and released to the front wheels. The object is to determine why the wheels are moving out from the straight ahead position when for example torque is applied. Good possibility something is either loose or worn. Sometimes this can be seen when power braking the vehicle with the brakes applied in forward and reverse.

Eddyk thanks for that info I'm going to have that looked at and keep you posted |
Hanky thanks will check into that also |
Shop said that front left control arm bolts have rusted through the subframe that's causing the steering to pull...they said subframe lower control arm needs replacing and it'll be $1800 |
Check for open recalls on your vehicle
Hopefully there is one on lower control arm or subframe Good luck |
