Question??????on c3
Just got the car. When you punch it from a roll it has the tendancy to jump to the left a bit. Any ideas on what would cause this, bad alignment, bad suspension bushings, etc. Or is this kinda normal ?????
Thanks guys........

Could be any of those, I would take it to a good tire shop. They can check alighnment and let you know of anything thats out-a-whack. But if makes you feel any better, mine likes to pull to the left all the time. My problem is brake pad/rotor wear. My left front brake grips allot more than the right.

There's many issues that might cause the problem. I'd say take a good look at your suspension, tires and wheels to find the problem. :cheers:

Correct. Normal is the car squats, hooks/launches hard and lays two long black patches of rubber with lots of smoking and screaming tires...
you get the idea... :smash: :smash: :D :D

Re: Question??????on c3 (tabbruzz)
I thought mine was trailing arm bushings - turned out to be strut rod bushings and excessive play in rear bearing.
