i recently bought the eibach springs along the tokico blue struts. after they were installed, i ran into a problem that no one seems to have the answer for. When i turn the wheel, either sharp or just making a right or left on a side street, when i straighten the wheel back out, it gets "stuck" to the side that i just turned "kind of like my alignment is off" but then if i turn the other way, it then gets stuck that way!!
someone please help me and tell me whats wrong.

 

Just a quick guess...
It sounds like you have way too much castor. If your not familiar with this term, it refers to an alignment specification. Do the front struts look like thay are set too far back (towards the back of the car) at the top? Double check your strut installation on the front.

Sounds like an alignment problem?

I have same setup, never experienced that problem =P

 

i had an alignment done, and everything is within the ratio it should be.

 

I'd say your installer must have put something back together wrong. Sounds like a strut bearing issue. I have never heard of anyone with that problem.

 

I have exact set-up - Eibach/Tockico (blue) Razo in Milpitas California did mines No Problem-Runs Perfect! I feel sorry for you dude. i hope problem gets resolve.

 

I had a similar problem after my Accord had work done on the suspension
after my son ran it into a curb. They replaced a couple of parts but
neglected to tighten at least one nut. This nut backed off over time
and the suspension became sort of loose. If I accelerated, it would
pull to one side, and when decellerating, it would pull to the other side.
Check that all fasteners are tight and observe the action of the
front suspension as someone turns the wheel back and forth while
the car is stationary to see if anything is shifting. It could even be
a loose steering rack.

 

Sounds like the strut bearings weren't put back in and/or they weren't put back in correctly. Did you have a "Honda" shop put these in?
