My alignment is perfect, just had it checked. But, when I give it gas, the car pulls hard to the left! What the hell is going on? Mounts, bushings, rack? Please help! BTW, '92 LX 5-speed.

 

i know my cars, it's definitely NOT tq steer. If i hold the wheel perfectly straight, while cruising, i go straight. When I give it power, holding the wheel dead center, the car shoots to the left. The steering wheel does not move, but the car goes left. All i can think of is rods or rack.

 

my first guess was torque steer, as we have a a fair bit of it, but since you say it's NOT that, my next guesses are, ball joints, CV half shafts (axles) tie rods, alignment (toe & caster), tire presures are next then the rack...pretty sure you've done the control arm bushings and your upper strut mounts, so those are out....maybe a loose bolt or even a missing one? Loose lug nuts, bad tire (it happens), bad strut, thats about all i can think of right now...

 

it was a bolt that went through my spindle....it had worn the threads b/c it was not replaced right when i had the drive axel put in .....the ams that pivot under the outer cv joint were coming apart and it was puling to the left....they would have come aparrt and the wheel would have come off but the arm would hit the rim....som it would cause the friction and pull the car to the one side...anyways.....check out the spindle and berings....that may be the problem....
