    Car pulling to one side.

    Ive notice that when im on the highway, when i am on the gas my car pulls the right, and when i let off it jerks to the left. Sometimes its more than others, any ideas?

    but it shouldnt be that bad, mines out of alignment and it doesnt do it that much. First of all, check tire pressure, make sure both tires are the same front/back, if that doesnt fix it, get an alignment done. <9$0

    It maybe out of alignment, when I lowered my car & put the springs & struts back in it seemed to wander on the open road, I never really gave the engine enough shit to see if it was pulling to one way, but now its had an alignment its a lot better, mine pulls to the right under braking so I’m thinking a seized calliper =(

    its most probably cuase ur Camber on both is either tires is off. I have the same problem, i hit the gas....... the car pulls right........ i let go.......... it veers left. Its retarded, but its cause the camber is not right. U sure none of ur lower control arm is bent or anything?

    Do you mean caster or camber? A caster difference has the most impact on steering feel and camber has the least. Are your front tires different? Are you certain that your radius rods are tight?

    mine does that cause of the camber. if the camber is different on two wheels, the will go straight on the run, but upon acceleration or decelration, it will veer to the opposite side of the tire with the most negative camber. which is what mine does.
