    Car pulling to the right,....help

    Okay, I posted this on the old board but many of you may have already jumped over here. In any case I finally installed my left cv joint/axle on the driver side. Now when I accelerate the car pulls pretty hard to the right. Could this be just the alignment or something else. The old axle was pretty bad! Any suggestions are welcome!!

    Thanks

    Most likely the alignment. Mine used to do that too. Have the alignment checked.

    Torque steer

    If you're car is heavily modded and you smash the gas on accelaration, just could be a problem with torque steer. I really don't think that's the problem but just a little insight. Like the other guys said, get the alignment checked out.
    No projects. Life consumes my time and money.

    I will it was because of mods that would be tight. I guess I could just pretend. This weekend I am getting the alignment...i'll post the out come. Thanks for the advise!

    It was just the alignment,...and I got it done for free. Father in law knows the manager at BIG O and he spends all kinds of money there so he hooked me up. Thanks for the help guys!
