This is a new one for me, that I haven't seen addressed here.
My 2002 has 38K miles and just recently I have noticed it pulls toward the right on acceleration. In a hard run through the gears, it will pull right on every acceleration after up shifting and dive left when I depress the clutch between those shifts.
It tracks straight when I go hands off and pulls right on when I goose the throttle without shifting while on the highway. It kind of feels like it is loose or floating as I go down the highway and hit any bumps.
Any ideas out there?

My guess is that you have a "toe in" and "toe out" alingment problem.

I would suggest having the alingment checked.

 

First thing I'd check is the tire pressures.

 

 

I think I've seen a couple of threads on pulling issues...let me check. Don't have any personal experience to pass along.

EDIT - Couldn't find any whole threads about this, but I know there are postings about pulling out here. I believe most of the reponses suggested what others have said already - that tire pressure is a likely contributor. Good luck! You might want to consider posting the problem in S2000 Talk also.

 

CHECK YOUR REAR TIRE PRESSURES!!!

Sorry for yelling. But do it. Seriously.

 

Everybody,
Thanks for the input. Tire pressure turned out to be the answer. I recently purchased those red/green tire pressure indicating valve caps and my right rear tire lost the sight portion of the cap...causing a leak. The right rear was down to 23 PSI. Took the remainder of the cap off, filled it up and no leaks so far today and no pulling.
Thanks again.

 

FlyNavy,

Is the Mansfield in your profile the Mansfield in Ohio?

 

OhioRacer,
Mansfield, TX. Just south of DFW airport. Maybe not as pretty as Mansfield OH but I get to drive my S with the top down almost every day. The trees are all leafed out now and the Blue Bonnets along the highway make the place look like OZ.

 

Awesome! Vintage question and answer works again!
