    Haha, already diagnosed the problem for a customer, as we have a little bit of a language barrier I typed in "pulling under acceleration" and hay presto there you are. I showed him your video and paused it when needed. Thank you for all of your tutorials.
    P.S. loved the stone walls in your video. Bet there's days you miss them like me 😎

    Check all components on the front end! Could also be: lower ball joint, lower control arm bushings etc. I had these symptoms but my lower ball joint was loose causing a lot of play and the cv axle was dancing in and out lol
    Great video thanks !

      If i move the axle with my hand it moves and clicks
      Could it be the problem for the pull?

      The control arms are causing this weird right left or left right pull when pressing gas & let go. I have a theory- rear suspension & other rear old parts in Rear are causing my front-end control arms & other front parts to wear out. So I'm replacing all rear suspension parts. I'm on my third round of replacing controls arms, which does make it stop for a time. Pray my rear suspension, etc. Replaced parts fix this annoying 2010 Nissan 2.5 S issue. Otherwise, this year has been an ok car

    Interesting, but mine doesnt have play in anywhere, still, when i accelerate (hard) it pulls to right, i am suspecting the swing arm bushings, maybe they got oil and the rubber got damaged, making it flex more in one side, allowing the arm to pivot more than the other side.

      Yes. Without eliminating all play in the steering you can't be sure if there are any other issues. Fix that get the
      wheel alignment done and see how it runs, before doing wheel alignment, check for play on all 4 wheels & tyre pressures while vehicle is jacked up.

    • @GerardBurkeBurkesGarage
      @GerardBurkeBurkesGarage  5 лет назад

      Jeeps in general are notoriously difficult to set up 100%
      My thoughts are make sure all the simple stuff is done and that all freeplay and tyre pull possibilities are eliminated. After that it's bring it to someone with a quality wheel alignment machine. We use the hunter wheel alignment and it's fantastic. They will check all the settings including camber etc.. And you can see before and after results. If it's a very slight pull sometimes a slight adjustment in the right direction changing the middle spec setting to slightly one or the other side. That can be the difference.
      Anyways good luck with it all 👍🍀

    Have a fairly severe shimmy when braking only on an A3 following a tyre rotation. Just wondering could tyres out of balance cause this alone as it wasn't acting up prior to changing the wheels about--Thanks.

      Rotate them back first and if the issue goes away you are left with a rim or tyre issue. I hope this helps

    Hey, just want to ask whether the inner tire rod can also be a cause of additional noise when driving? Because my car sometimes also pulls to left side when accelerating, but also I have a bit annoying noise, but it doesn't sound as bad as a wheel bearing. thank you.

    • @GerardBurkeBurkesGarage
      @GerardBurkeBurkesGarage  6 лет назад +1

      Very very doubtful your noise is that. you need to narrow down the elements of the noise. Is it over rough or uneven terrain? is it a continuous noise? does it get louder as you speed up? give a few examples. Noises can be anything from a loose cover to a major component but the type of noise tells a lot on a test drive.

    • @FlybyLV
      @FlybyLV 6 лет назад +1

      I'll be honest I have no idea what that sound is, it's like humming (when i just roll with pressed clutch from like 60km/h the sound gets deeper the slower the car gets) . Wheel bearings were checked at a repairshop and they seem fine, swerving car to either side doesn't change the sound. And if I'm driving longer routes 100+KM, after a while the sound disappears. Seems like if something warms up, then the sound is gone, but while its cold it makes a noise. Probably sounds stupid, but yea... I'm not sure what else could make the sound ;/

    • @GerardBurkeBurkesGarage
      @GerardBurkeBurkesGarage  6 лет назад +1

      Very hard for me to gauge it off your example, It can be difficult describing noises to mechanics, we are used to most of the different sounds and can find it much easier on a test drive by processing the type of noise (comparing surface sounds) when it occurs (speed, road type etc.) and location of where the noise resonates from.
      Your best bet will be to bring it to a recommended repairer, he/she should be able to find it for you and price up the job, and also tell you if it a safety concern or not. I hope this helps.

    • @GerardBurkeBurkesGarage
      @GerardBurkeBurkesGarage  6 лет назад

      Alignment would not cause this issue, you need to get all possible attaching components checked for freeplay, this type of movement is usually caused by a movement under load causing a weight shift and feedback through the wheel.
      Bring it in to a trusted repairer for assessment.

    Hi mate.
    Avoiding an accident, i hit the kerb so hard a chunk of the alloy broke, the tire fell off the rim (personally I think that’s due to the shit glue used by the tyre fitter I used, which wasn’t wrong enough for the impact of hitting the kerb, so the alloy sustained the hit rather than the tire which gave way and pushed the alloy up and backwards so much that it bent the control arm + the fender and the tire was stuck to the fender.) this was no light hit, this was almost a write-off, me vs the curb. $$$ later and the cars fine. However, it steers to the left, same side as the accident ^ help :(
    Btw that’s just me guessing about the glue, I take full responsibility, although previous curb-mounting-accidents in my last car simply pop the tyre n bam, bobs your uncle.
