ok, the nsx wants to move to one side while accelarating.. like it jerks.. i think it could be wheel bearings.. but not sure. any ideas?
help...? car jerks to one side
- Thread starter s2 killer
- Start date
More info...
Light acceleration, hard acceleration or any...?
Is the jerking sudden?
Do you feel the front push or the rear move?
Do different road surfaces make a difference?
Is it always toward one side, or does it change?
Any sounds?
What happens when you decelerate with the clutch engaged?
Did this happen all at once or a slow change?
What was the last thing you changed before the symptom showed up?

Yea we need answers first!
(and I thought he meant for smartassed people to get to one side..... lol)

my thoughts exactly, we need more input, also tell us what tires and wheel configuration you are using, also does the traction light come on?
check your tire pressure!!! my bros car did the same thing it was a almost flat tire

holy shit.. this is wat happens when i dont check.. lol

What differential are you running?
Things I would check:
Swap front tires (yes I know they are directional
) side to side and see if the pull follows the swap.
One or more bad shocks can do this. Check all four corners ride height and use a chassis point, say the control arm bolt and not the fender wells for this. Be advised a bad shock may not always sag under a static condition but it's still worth checking.
A bad right side shock can make the car pull to that side under acceleration and pull back straight when you lift off the throttle.
These are the causes I have found most common when diagnosing this problem in NSX's. The car can have a good alignment sheet and these problems can still cause this type of pull.
Other possible causes:
Bad motor mount. Can do the same as above.
Worn tie rod end or ball joint.
Taking the car to a smart suspension tech (obviously one with a lift and wheel computerized alignment) and letting him diagnose is the best solution.
