Just quick Q, When i lay off full boost-deaccleration my car seems to pull right then rips over to the left. Like sways.

Gave me bit of freight was that bad, I put it on hoist and 99% of all bushes were in good cond.

I cant really think what else, Its lowered on BC golds with 15" oz wheels.
 
Sounds more like something broken or loose rather than the suggestions above.
Have you checked all your engine mounts and gearbox mounts too?
Let us know what you work out as Im experiencing something similar.

I spoke to the local tyre bloke and he said its nothing to do with wheel alignment in my case
more like something broken or snapped which Im yet to find !
 
Have you noticed an increase in torque steer on accel aswell. Or is it solely decel that it's jolting?

Do you feel it pulling in the steering wheel or is the car doing it by itself and you just need to counter steer which is the causing it to go further left once it straightens out?

Also are the camber adjustments on your coilovers tight? They aren't swaying under the engine load

Yeah even pushing full power feels we boaty feeling then when ya come off throttle its sways all over the road suddenlly

Must check this, it just had alignment so i hope so :/
 
Sounding to me like what Jamo was saying somethin loose. Im thinking check coilovers. Sounds like 1 or more hubs is slightly loose somewhere. Maybe the coilover attachment to the hub is loose or to the camber adjustment. Or the power steering arms or the hub nuts.

When I first put GSR rear trailing arm assemblies on my car I didn't have the shafts holding then in and the car would pull left and right slightly from the wheels having a few mm of loose movement.
 
Had a another sqizz around front end all seems tight and legit, coilovers are tight. left coil over top seems be alot over then the right side ( thats how its been adjusted) in the wheel alignment i just had.
 
If one side has more camber than the other then wouldn't it cause it to pull harder in that direction? That's my understanding as far as I know it. Try even out the camber on both sides and see if that helps at all

Yeah 1 camber plate the left is way out compared to right side? i thought that maybe werid
 
Yeah adjust that and see if it fixes the problem. With uneven road surfaces the extra camber on a wheel will cause it to pull the car in different directions. Same as if one of your wheels is pulled in, like if you hit a gutter too hard
 
so can extra castor on one side but theyr'e supposed to have extra castor on one side to overcome the camber of the road
 
I replaced the rear trailing arm bushes with nolathane ones, Going for another wheel alignment to correct them aswell as i fitted camber arms to help fit my new 17x9 wheels. I went for drive before and i wasnt able to lay down power as its awaiting its new tune but just from what i could feel its still doing this. Would the likes of a bent chassis/ Some sort chassis repair make this happen? Its feels like a boat .
 
Check the tie rod ends where they bolt into the hub...That's what my problem turned out to be. Mine had somehow come loose and had almost dropped back out luckily I found it before it came right out!

Ill check those tomorrow as well I'm sure they fine but ill double check, even swinging the car side to side while driving whole car doesn't feel stiff/firm like it should. Kind of sways ?
