This is what happens when you let girls drive the car...

 

Check tire pressure?

 

Well the car still kinda pulls here and there... tire pressure is definately on point. I do happen to notice though that on uneven roads, the car seems to "sway" a little bit, so perhaps it could be a shock that needs to get rebuilt... I also read somewhere that the UK specs might tend to make the car pull one way or another depending on the undulations in the road... I have definately gotten used to it, it doesn't bother me too much when it's dry out. But in the rain... it's downright scary!

I was thinking about either getting new shocks, or maybe some bump steer kits might help solve the issue.

 

this is what happened to my car. (going off into grassy median).. course i hit a few metal poles but that's besides the point.

I didn't read everyone's response.. i'm in class.. i'm sure P-Tuning checked some stuff during the alignment.. but my car aligns and my car is fubar'd almost haha

Things to check RIGHT AWAY before it gets fubar'd like mine (read my subframe thread)

1) Control arm mounting bolts to subframe are tightened to proper torque
2) Ride height on both sides (checking for tweaked control arm or some other problem like a knuckle)
3) Oil on shocks any where (blown damper??..isn't putting as much resistance force to the spring.. could cause some grip issues on one side)


there's more that i'm sure other people have said that deal with axles/drive train in general. I've forgotten all the things i've done to my car short of inspecting/replacing the subframe... which is going to be done soon.

If i remember the other things i've looked at/ had Agile look at i'll post again.

 

hmm...I'll see what I do now. I hate that jerky feeling. I can't enjoy the car

 

Dan and Steve, let me know what happens with your set-ups...

When I brought my car into P-Tuning, I had told them everything that had happened, and when they re-did my alignment, they said that nothing was bent or out of the ordinary. It's possible however, that they didn't do a thorough job in checking to see if everything was fine. At the same time, it's probably pretty hard to tell if something is slightly bent, unless you put it up to a new part.

Last time I changed my oil (about 2 weeks ago), I didn't see any oil on the shocks while I was under the car. I kind of want to change the shocks, and/or springs to see if its the coilovers that are causing the problem. However, I just don't want to spend a ton of money on parts that I may not need, to try to figure out whats wrong. lol

 

I haven't experienced the noise that Steve (Gilly) was talking about in his thread though...

 

I was thinking of changing wheels to and tires since I have different tire brand new tires. I check my tire pressure religiously already, ill continue that. maybe the control arm bushings are bad?

 

so i set my tire pressure for 35 all around and feels fine now. still slightly pulls but feel a bit better.


man, this car is sensitive to tire pressures lol

 

I just started getting a clunk from my rear but no pulling or any other issues while driving I have KWv3's with about 5-6K on them i bought them new.
