If my steering wheel is pointed at the 1 o'clock mark but hardly pulls either direction, pulls slight right when applying gas, and pulls slight left when braking, could it be toe adjustment and not camber??

thanks fellas!

FWD or RWD?

If that were an S2000 you were talking about, I would suggest checking your tire pressures.

yeah if its front wheel drive it could be torque steer from the accelerating and brakes on the other pull?

but toe can definitely cause a pull

Step one: Check your tire pressures.

tire pressure 35lb all around stock OEM wheels, FWD Civic Sedan, bought used of some guy. im just checking cause i hate to be the guy at the shop that buys parts/labor i didnt need. im just lookin for a rough guesstamate

Next on the checklist are worn bushings or uneven caster. More than likely the bushings are kaput on one side. Specifically, the driver's side front.

Toe could be a factor but load would unlikely effect the equation enough for different characteristics under accelerateration AND deceleration.

I'd start with an alignment. It's not that expensive and will be a good start to finding the problem, if there even is one other than the alignment being off.

Just turn the radio up, you'll be fine!

Which side is making a thunking sound?
Can you feel it in the steering wheel?
