ladies and gents....

small issue with my s2k


i have a 2005 s2k and recently have noticed that when on freeway (most noticeable at 100kmph or 60mph) if i put my foot down the car pulls right. when i let off the throttle the car runs left again.

i am really unsure as to which way i go about this. do i have to just start replacing parts????

i have read a few things. people suggesting tie rods, diff mounts, the diff itself, bushes.... etc.

has anyone had this problem and or do they know anything about it.

any feedback will be appreciated.

please let me know.

Check your tire pressure and make sure you have about the same amount of tread left on them.

4 brand new tires went on on saturday. filled with nitrogen at 40psi for no change in pressure when they heat up.. so rule the tires out.

cheers

Did this start with the new tires or was it always happening.

RedCelica

gonna ask the obvious...did you get your alignment checked?

philipminge

no it was happening with old tyres too....

yes had the alignment done and it helped a little but not much.


anyone else got anything????

im ready to drive the car off a bridge. lol
drove it before, put my foot down in 6th and can change lanes with no problem.... im just about to buy new diff mounts....

any comments are appreciated.

cheers

Hung up brake caliper? Blown shock? If you think it's your diff change the fluid and see if you have pieces of the gear on the drain bolt.

But I think it's a brake caliper as I've had similar symptoms happen to me just not as pronounced. My front left was seized

diff oil was changed 6000kms ago.

also i was reversing up a hill the other night and heard a knock. to me it actually feels like something is moving under there.

i had my mechanic inspect all my bushes etc and they were fine...

tighten everything up... all tight he reckons..

i stomped on the brakes the other night also and the when the tail got light as i was braking HARD, it kicked out to the left...

i use to have an ap1.... never once did this on a dead flat straight road.

when tail kicked out a little, i never had to fight the steering.. so if it was a brake calliper wouldnt the front pull one way....

i will check all 4 brakes and socks....

thanks for your help.

anyone else got anything....?

ANYONE??

Swap rear tires left/right. See if the behavior changes direction with the tire swap. If it does, bad tire...
