steering pull

(1/3) > >>

iainalpine:
hi guys, was wondering if anyone had a steering pull when going on power. car pulls to the right going on power and then to the left when coming off power?  :driver:

MK5 GTI with DSG and 30000 miles

Any thoughts would be great

Mine doesn't torque steer one bit.

Take it that your standard etc? Checked all the tyre pressures etc?

some 'pull' is normal on FWD cars with unequal length driveshafts, however it should be minimal.
As snapey says tyre pressures first, make sure you are on flat non cambered road while testing.
Are the tyres the same make side to side? same tread depth? damage to wheels?
Next you are looking at suspension components/bushes for issues/wear etc.
A good garage should be able to help you, maybe onto a wheel alignment place?
It will be immeadiately obvious from that whether you have something damaged.

good luck

Car is running Revo stg1. Standard suspension. have checked tyre pressures etc but all ok. car has a very slight steering pull but didnt think this should make it drive this way.
Next stage is getting it up on the ramp and checking the bushes etc.

it sounds like its probably a pissed track rod! get the alligment checked
