Alignment Issue

[Shanu]

hey guys,have a question regarding car going to the right when accelerating hard.not the skyline i bought chaser yesterday didnt drive

that much took it for a spin today the alignment out a bit as the car goes to the left when u leave the steering,but the thing am worried about

is when i accelerate the car hard its pulls to the right and have to hold the steering as soon a i lift the foot back to the left(straight) but when am driving slow (cruising ) no issues.it pulls to the right when i accelerate hard.everything was closed today so didnt do the alignment.the question is will a wheel alignment fix the problem or could it be something serious? help would be appreciated

Check wheek nuts, check tyre pressures, get under the car and check condition of all bushes/ball joints(or get this done with alignment), Get alignment, Check ride height, What diff and tyres?

235/18/40 rear, 225/18/40 front.its the standard LSD comes from factory,ride height that i have to check cuz the guy who i got it off had to rais it to get it registered.no noises or anything from the diff could there be a problem there ?

I more meant are tyres equal tread on each axle.

Was it aligned after the ride height change?

Check bushes/ball joints/alignment/Tyre pres.

Its most likely alignment, but all the above are worth checking when you buy a car...

check the subframe for damage as well,

its pretty common to see imports with bent arm mounting points on the subframe

sounds like alignment cause the guy raised it to get it registered he probably didnt have it realigned
