Car pulling to right then left
Hi Chaps this is my first post so be nice
I have searched and searched on this topic but still need a bit of help, my S2000 2001 pulls to the right under acceleration and when I throttle off it jerks to the left, I have checked and double checked all of the pressures and everything is fine, I took the car to my garage and had the tracking looked at, which again is perfect, got the mechanic to check the car over underneath and all of the bushes and suspension seem to be in order. I then phoned my local Honda dealer who said that the next thing to check would be the Geometry but they could'nt do it because there machine was bust.
Do you think that it could be the Geometry?? and if so could anyone recomended a good place to get this looked at, I live nr Bristol but dont mind a trip out in the car if I have to.
Thanks in advance
Brad

Ok I have checked again and strangly one of the rear tyres was over inflated with about 36 PSI the tyre place must have done it, I have now put 32 PSI in every tyre with precision, the car does feel alot better but does still tug a little.

I have just checked the tyres I have one Dunlop Sport on the near side and a Continental sport on the Off side. Both the fronts are Continental sports. Do you think this is my problem??

Maybe try checking your tire pressure early in the morning before driving and before the sun has a chance to warm up one side or the other.
From what I've been told, even just driving it a mile or two is enough to skew the pressure numbers. Best to do it when your tires are totally cold.
