Rep Power: 272 I need some advice, my car pulls hard to the left
Hey guys, Im not sure what kind of problem this is, but whenever I hit small dips in the road, like potholes...haha..POT anyways, whenever I hit them my car pulls hard to the left. It does it especially when I am trying to get a fast launch but even just driving like normal "civic drivers" drive (pushing the car hard so it will have *some* kind of 'get up and go')
What do you think is causing this?
thanks for the help
BTW its not the allignement because it only pulls to the left when I hit those dips, when driving its perfectly straight. It almost feels like my tires are slipping out from the car...i dunno

Rep Power: 0 ^^^^ Yes. I'm pretty sure that it is bad "toe" settings. What suspension mods do you have?
I'd take it to the Honda dealer and get your alignment checked and tell them that you need your toe back to zero. should cost around $50. If that's not it I have no idea.

Rep Power: 0 Just go with the set dude, you can't screw that up and order the wrong parts. Also use yahoo or some search engines, maybe even ebay, and try and find some good prices.

Rep Power: 0 I would stay with them. They have great service and wont overcharge you. Just ask them how much. After you get those instaled, I would get the car realigned.
