Since I have gotten this car, it has always pulled to the right under heavy acceleration and drifted alittle that way when cruising. It was lowered before I got it and does not look like the springs are cut, And I measured them today with car jacked up and they all seem to be the same height on both sides (9"front, 10" rear).
So I take the car to a buddies shop that has a wheel alignment machine to check the and camber of the wheels and front right is -2.57 left, and -2.97 right. Toe is apparently perfect when the steering wheel is straight, he thinks someone already did this.
Guess the more negative camber on the right front could make it pull more to the right under heavy acceleration due to slightly bigger foot print on the left??.
The car also apears to be higher on the front passenger side than drivers to by .5". I wasnt sure how to measure, So I did from fender to top of rim on both sides.
I guess I will be swaping to prelude upper control arms if I want them to be adjustable.
I am getting new tires soon on some ASM 16"x7" mag rims i bought for 80 bucks for the set. I will do more testing once I get these as they are all the same, right now I have 2 different pairs on my car back and front.
Sorry for the long post, but i'm getting bored of looking for posibilities besides a bent frame which would suck as i'm not ready to rid of this car yet.
ps. I have checked all control arms, sway bars(appears to have small one on the back) , bushings, mounts. Anything that could cause this.
