car pulls to one side when accelerating ..

[EG5[KRT]]

since i crashed my car i got semi slicks on...

and i fixed everything and got an alignment...

but when i drive sometimes the car pulls really bad to the left... and when i get off accelerator the car pulls slightly to the right ...

is this a steernig rack problem ?? or is it just coz i have semis on ?? ?

have you done your wheel balancing yet?

[DomenEK]

Not sure about this, but maybe get the alignment settings rechecked, get the wheels balanced and maybe check your tyre pressures too. Also look for uneven wear on the tyres (if they're new there shouldn't be any problem with this).

That is about all I can suggest, short of taking it to a reputable mechanic and get it checked.

wheels are balanced ...

tyre wear mite b an issue due to them being 2nd hand ...

the alignment was good coz i checked the specs as he was doing the alignment.

tyre pressures are fine .. i did them afta i got them balanced..

hm.. im thinking it mite b bent tie rod ... or farked steering rack ...

[quangsta]

could be that something is loose and isnt holding the alignment firm enough so wen u drive it loosens up making alignment wacko jacko...tie rods, steering rod joints (dont know wat its called)

[destrukshn]

get a read out of your alignment next time.
so you can check you castor - toe - camber
etc.

yeah i got a readout at work

i got zero toe atm and -1 camber on each side
castor is a bit weird tho...

[destrukshn]

what's wrong with the castor?

[EG5[KRT]]

different on each side ...

mite b due to the tyres . but then agin some of the bushes on the right lower control arm are worn ...

[destrukshn]

change the bushes.
the castor may affect it.

[julzy_84]

its important that both of your castor measurments are the same or very close to the same.
