Danny_GT Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 ive recently fitted some coilovers to my starlet, it handled like a bag of crap, just had the tracking done today. Now the wheels are aligned properly ive noticed as i accelerate, my car pulls strongly to the left, and wen i shut off it goes back towards the right. , all i can think is maybe bottom arm bushes ????? anyone else had this problem and know of any soloutions, cheers Quote
Liam_D Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Did you have the alignment set-up on a proper hunter machine? Sounds like they havent done it properly unless theres a suspension/tyre problem i would nip it back to them and get them to check there work. Quote
Danny_GT Posted January 8, 2011 Author Posted January 8, 2011 one of my mates did it for me, to be honest i think there was a problem before it was tracked up, just now the wheels are aligned it feels worse, its like somethings worn and feels loose Quote
Steve GT Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 your driveshafts not clicking?I've just thought mine did that on my black GT a day before it popped the driveshaft and bottom arm out lol Quote
1987glanza Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 are your coilovers both set the same height?a mate of mine had the same problem with his skyline, had lazer alignment done, bushes checked etc. in the end he had is coilovers properly aligned and he's never had a problem since.may be worth while just checking the height is the same on both Quote
Liam_D Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Yeah if theres a problem before it was aligned mate it wouldnt of tracked up properly so it woulda been pointless doing it. As 1987glanza mentioned though if your coilovers arent the same height then it'll cause it to pull on boost, Had a Subaru in work the other day that had the same problem. He took it to Tracktive to get them refitted and then we aligned it again after and now it drives 100% straight. Quote
Steve GT Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 very good idea lads i never thought of that one Quote
greasemonkeyspb Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 sounds like coilover height problem as several people i know who have put coilovers on and not adjusted prorperly then come to me at work and when i have looked found a slight height difference has only got to be very slight but makes big differencealso brake callipers sticking can cause pulling under accelleration so just something to keep in mind if it still happens afterwards mate Quote
