Pulls hard under acceleration
Soo on going issue, my car coasts fine perfectly straight but when i get on gas the steering wheel stays but my car starts pulling to the left and then when i take my foot off the gas it juts back to going nice and straight, no movement of steering wheel. Both inner/outer tirods new, just got allignment yesterday, tires brand new and all at the correct pressure. I am aware i need a drivers
Side LCA and bushing & ball joint.. Can this be my issue ? Can a bad lca or any of the components to it cause a pull under load only ? |

Congratulations! You're one of only a handful that can answer their own question within a post. :sprint:
But I'm curious as to why you wasted money on an alignment knowing you had to replace a major front end component? I said not for them to replace it cause i hate when mechanics do that. So i checked the lca myself and it does need replacing. If i knew i wouldnt have gotten an allignment lol |

They did the allignment called me to get my car and told me i needed the lca bushings and the arm is completly gone so no point in doing just the bushings and ball joints

Wait wtf.
If you can not fix an alignment issue with a control arm on any 95-08 maxima (never worked on any other years can't speak for em) with bushings, then it is bent and it will never align correctly. The only way for your car to be able to be aligned is with a slight magical bend that only effects the caster. Anything else and they won't be able to say they did jack diddly. With camber being off itll affect the toe and straight line steering of the vehicle. Toe is easily adjustable and not effected by the control arm. But if camber and caster is off you won't be able to get the toe in spec to drive the car straight. You can not align a maxima properly with a bent control arm. So if they're saying they got the car aligned but it needs a control arm desperately... Something is amiss. With that being said. How are le engine mounts? |
