Ready S2k

After the mrs had the classic S2000 crash (wet period after dry spell, too much right foot on roundabout) - the car has been repaired for 1 month care of Admiral...

Feels great except, when over 50mph the car tugs to the right under sharp acceleration, and to the left when lifting off suddenly.

The repair yard replaced the passenger side rear alloy/tyre and rear suspension. Pre-crash the car had 2000 miles on it (I know, I know...).

Do you think it could be a matter of differing tyre pressures, differing mileage on tyres - or something more sinister.

Sorry for the numpty question, I'm a driver and in no way a mechanic!

first thing id do before worrying too much is check the pressures and make sure they are all right

second check the geo set up if it was done by the garage ask for a copy print out, if it was not done ask why and insist it gets done before the claim is closed.

Thats rear tyre pressures....one of them will be low..

Sounds like pressures to me.

You are also advised to change both tyres on the same axle at the same time so in theory they should have changed the tyre on the other side.

Even if the pressures are out and that resolves the problem I still dont think its advisable to have differing tread depths - there is something in the manual about this to do with the diff I think.

Dunno, I had different tread depths on the rears on mine and never suffered any problems. (I kept to the same tread patterns)

I suffered several punctures of the course of my ownership and I was buggered if I was going to shell out another

They've probably failed to set the geometry with sufficient accuracy.

Or the shell's mis-aligned.

(I assume you've eliminated tyre pressures as it's too obvious).

Hi there,

Funnily enough, mine is doing the same thing and Honda seem to think it may be the rear diff. ??
