I was in an accident with my s2000 and when I got it back everything seemed fine. They had to replace the front lower right control arm and the fender. I had it for about a week and I was turning and it felt a little strange. After the turn my steering wheel was off center by a good bit and it was pulling pretty bad. I may have hit a bump in the turn but nothing major and nothing more than what I've hit in the past.

Any idea if this could be something related to the accident or it just happened to occur close to the repairs? I don't know the suspension on a s2000 but my jeep had a bad trackbar and it did the same thing. Not sure if there's other components that could have gotten stripped in the accident or not gotten tightened down completely.

Thanks for any info.

 

probably an alignment issue

 

Well i know that much. My question is what could have been damaged or not put on properly to cause this after the wreck. I had no issues before the accident and all of a sudden while turning it gives way? Doesn't seem likely to me since I've hit much larger bumps before.

 

To happen suddenly, and have a pull, check your tire pressure. it will cause a pull and throw the wheel off center.

 

Just throwing this out there, but suppose an alignment bolt was loose, and everything shifted in the turn? Cause, why would tire pressure suddenly drop in a turn?

 

It's not the tire pressure. It was fine and when I turned left last week it felt strange as I was turning and afterwards it was like this. I'm not an expert at suspension issues but it's not as easy as tire pressure or a basic alignment unless something was loose.

 

I'd say something was loose, bring it back to the shop ASAP

 

Or bent.
