Wants to pull right..
I was wondering if I could get some advice on what you think might of happened. http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/i...afa2de4d2d.jpg
Ok First off I was out running the car pretty hard a night or two ago, and now sence then Ive noticed it wanting to pull to the right. So I first thought mabe I bent some thing ): But I jacked it up and everything looked fine untill I removed the boot off the inner tie rod and saw this^^ with powersteering fluid leaking every where. So Im hoping Mabe I just blew a seal in the power steering rack ,but would that make it pull right and am I going to have to replace the entire rack beacause of this. I havent took anything apart yet..SO what do you think?????????? |
Aww Shit I think I might of posted in the wrong section. Oh well...........Its a zenki BTW.
|
Bump.................

If you banged it off a curb or a pothole, it's possible for sure...or a slightly bent tie rod end/control arm. If the leaking has ceased, I'd look into getting it aligned. If it hasn't stopped leaking, replace the race, and get it aligned anyway.

http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/i...1d7462a5db.jpgYa it seems to me like the leaking has ceased..But I cant recall banging it off any curbs or potholes or anything.

my car does this also not sure what it is but im going with tie rods
|
Anytime a car 'pulls' it's due to some sort of alignment issue. Even a bad tire won't make it pull one direction or the other, aside from some wacky 1/100000 chance.
You may not remember hitting anything, but what else would throw off the aligmnent? Maybe you loosend a camber bolt or upper mount, which induced some toe because of the camber change? POssible, but more than likely you bent something. Align it yourself, or take it a shop and have it done. |
Aight Ill check out the alignment and let you know how it goes.
|
I checked the alignment and it looks fine.. I cant even work this toe out through adjusting the alignment...I tried. Now im guessing its gotta be the tierods considering there weak stock ones. So im gona take them of the car today to get a better look at them, and try to see whats going on.
|
When I'm driving and turn right my car wants to go right like it jerks to the right
|
I havent updated this thread in a couple of days but its because Ive been trying to fix the car. Ive bought and installed brand new gold tein inner and outer tierods and finnaly just took the car to an alignment shop and had them align it. After they aligned it the car still wants to pull right. I dont know what it could be all I could think of is the power steering rack ,but even then It dosent make sense to me because while I had the car up on jacks and started it the wheels wont turn/pull to the right no matter which way I turned the Wheel. It only happens while the car is driving down the road. So basicaly Ive eliminated bad tierods and off alignment. IDEAS????????????????

while youre at it you might as well replace the lower arm bushing with energy suspension ones and do ball joints... besides worn out strut mounts that's pretty much everything in the front end sans rack.
(someone who has put more time into this than me correct me if im wrong) but if your rear end is misaligned it can cause issues. from the photo its clear you arnt running a stock suspension so your rear toe/camber/whatever might need work. does it pull to the right going over bumps or continuously? i'd first put a new tie rod boot on to prevent more crud from getting in the rack and replace ball joints. |
It pulls right continuously not just while going over speed bumps ,and the rear end has been aligned as well as the front. I doubt the ball joints are bad because the control arm are pretty close to new.....Any thing will help thanks....
|
Aight your never gona beleave what it was....The tires in the back were pretty bald and I just put them back there to eat them up and be done with them. So I put the other tires back on and the car drives perfectly straight. Wow what are the odds........THANKS to everybody that helped...THE END....................:)
|
I replaced my tires got my car aligned and my car pulls to the right.
I was really hoping this would have a solution to my problem. :( |
Hey check measuring the ride hight you might have sagging springs on the right witch will throw off your alignment
