But it goes perfectly straight. As soon as you step on the gas, it pulls left. ---

+1 on bushings. If not though, just out of curiosity - does it have a lsd? I know some aftermarket lsd’s run into clearance issues with bolts potentially rubbing casings, or bolts backing out (haha, yes) and rubbing casings…?

See I can’t remember if it pulled b4 the axles cuz they were so bad, I couldn’t accelerate hard without shaking the car horribly. Wednesday I’m. Installing a full energy suspension bushing kit. And pry switching out the axles. Gotta love warrentys. ---

Take a close look at the front lca bushing. They can fall apart and not be super noticable at a simple glance. When this happens its toes out on one or either side. ---

I replaced the lca bushings already. I will inspect the wheel bearings more closely on Wednesday. I don’t hear the grinding, but my buddy drove it today and he heard it. Also says that its not just torque steer, its something more than that. I don’t think it’s the axles cuz it was fine right after i replaced them, unless one has gone bad already. I think the pass lca bushing might be the culprit… We will find out when i replace it on Wednesday. Also need to check the brakes too cuz today I noticed on my way home, i step on the brakes it pulls left too. Only difference is that the steering wheel goes left too while applying the brakes. It goes right while accelerating. ---
