Default pulling to the right.

my newage is pulling quite badly to the right when I accelerate. And then when I lift off it goes left.

I have this problem in the past with my peugeot and think it was the front wishbone.

Has anyone suffered the same fate in there impreza and what was the cure?

You need to have your braking, geometry, drive checked. Hs the car been n an accident?

No it hasnt been in an accident. As far as I can tell the brakes are ok but am suspecting the geometry could be out. I have the car booked in for geometry check also so hopefully that should show something up. Would the car not pull in one direction all the time though if it was the geometry? and not just under acceleration?

i hate things that cant be checked simply and on the drive!!!

it is the thrust line which is wrong.

the geometry will be wrong.
i had a car which did the exact same thing, it took ages to find and sort out but is right now.
If you get it four wheel aligned it will show the problem and cure it.
