car problems

i reved my engine at a red light and ZOOOOOOOOOOOM... (a little exagerated) but the car shifted to the left a little.. i think my alignment is off.. or are our cars crappy at handling?

anyone else have this problem?

also i turned a corner (pretty quickly) and the front end shifted left and back right... (no ice)

is this a problem with my alignment..

well getting it checked tomorrow..[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

Its called torque steer man. All FF cars do it. Unless it was unusually crazy, I wouldnt worry about it.

Dood, it happens even after lowering. Also, the crappy rubber that we have..., it's bound to do a bit of torque slip. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

dude...your car goes from side to side more than up and down off bumps...and it pulls to the right...

dret - sounds like tire problems more than anything else...unless you've gone off a couple curbs or anything..??

lol, will Honda fix anything for free? wait, will honda fix anything right? I guess I shouldn't be trash talking them but dang.. cool engineers and designers overseas is one thing, crappy customer service and pissed off mechanics is something that we just have to deal with. Blah
