Default Is this an alignment issue ..... need Advise!!

On acceleration - not hard, just cruising, the car pulls to the left, when I let off the gas it over corrects to the right - almost a wobbly, chassis / alignment issue - I think.

Has anyone else had this issue - or - do you have any thoughts as to why this may be so.

It's a 02, with about 2000 miles .....

Thanks for your advise.

I had the same problem. It is the rear tire pressure that is the error. Check the psi of each tire. I have mine set to 32 psi per tire.

! What Pappy said ! I'd check all 4 to be sure, though.
Check your tire pressure and report back here to let us know if that was it.

It's rear tire pressure. It's on the side it pulls toward. And it's most likely a nail in the tire. Been there and seen it about a dozen times here.

Wow what a difference w/tire pressure. The rear right was very very low - nearly flat! Cured the issue.

Thanks for your input, much appreciated.

That has happened to me too. Only my tires were not the same in rolling diameter even though they were the same size
