sudden hard pull!?!
I had to jack up the left side fof the car last night, could this have been cause by suspension re-compression?:
I drove about 2 miles, 2 slow left turns 2 slow right turns, nothing unusual. Then while leaving a stop light I accelerated fairly briskly on to a 55mph road while making a long left turn. A few hundred yards after the turn, I back off the throttle and the car DARTED to the right.
I had the front suspension poly kit with ball joints installed by Van Steel in March. Same with rebuilt T-arms. I had a 4 wheel alignment done as well. I don't think a loose suspension is an issue. This was a severe move, not just a little drift. I didn't have anymore turns like that to go around, but the rest of the ride to work was fine.

a sudden hard pull? my first thought was NITROUS :jester
a topic last week, guy found a loose half shaft.
anything could be loose, front or rear. Even some new cars come with loose bolts :rolleyes:

You could have a caliper that is sticking. Aguy in the club I belong to had a chunck od rust in a line that would not let the fluid release and it caused a drag on the the one wheel.

might be time to flush the brake lines and maybe replace them?
