Default Suspension problem

Hey guys i just bought myself a 01 S2K and i have a problem. when i press on the gas usually at a more lower rpm and higher speeds (50 + mph) the car pulls to the right. when i let go of the gas the car kinda snaps back to the left. anybody have any ideas as to what might cause the problem?

thanks

I just went all through that problem only it was worse at higher speeds and mine pulled to the left. Things to check - tire pressure, alignment and tires. My problem turned out to be the brand new tires. Reort back on what you check.

The stook is very sensitive to tire pressure...also to tire size, and alignment.

with the other guys. Check your air pressure first, this is most often the cause a car pulling one way or the other. Check your tire wear too. What kind of tires do you have?

I had the same problem and it was tire pressure. Both sides looked even but when I put the gauge to it, one tire was low about 12psi.
