car wonders.....help
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.

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.

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