Slipping to left from start when taking off =(
 

So this problem began after getting in a fender bender where I had my front bumper ripped. The damage appeared to be completely cosmetic as the collision was a slight scrape that tore the right side of my bumper.

Whenever I accelerate with much force from a stop my rear slides to the left consistently. This never occurred until after the accident.

My thoughts on possible causes of this is possibly the alignment? Was my first thought even though the insurance company did several alignments for a different issue in which it wasn't even the case. But their service was mediocre at best so I wouldn't guarantee they set it correctly. My other thought was maybe something got bent? The car doesn't pull when in motion even when jamming the accelerator except for occasionally a slight tug when shifting at high rpms.

Any thoughts?

Have you had someone behind you watch and see what the car is doing when this happens? I'd say check all rear end mounting points first.

Try pulling your seat belt a little tighter.

Did you get printouts of the alignments when they were performed? No excessive thrust angle on the rear wheels?

You might try rotating the tires.

Maybe it's a tire thing.....:iono:


humfrz

I slip to the right but that's because I have all traction control off to do it for fun when I'm beside an American muscle car haha
