Default Mad swaying under accel
This car feels dangerous.. sways to the left under acceleration. Car is dropped on Tein Flex. I've been told the S2Ks are very particular to tire pressure. So tomorrow I will check the pressures and get an alignment. No accidents. Anything else to check?

Tire pressure does make a huge difference. From experience it seems that the car pulls to the tire with low air pressure. Good luck.

Yeah.. I'm thinking that. Unfortunately bushings aren't sold separate from the control arms, besides a few. I will be replacing them soon..

Were just replaced. But the pressure in them I know are off from each tire.

Even out your tire pressures side to side.

Check your tire pressure - both times my tires were losing air the car was pulling heavily in one direction under acceleration.

I to have been down this path My right rear was low and the car pulls hard right then, off the gas and she goes left.

Low air pressure will cause your issue
