    Alignment off

    Hi guys,

    I was driving last night when I had a close call with some idiot in a Camry. Anywho, I ended up having to smash through first gear and slam it into second to avoid a rear end collision. Well, when I shifted into second, it was rough to say the least. I heard something clunk around under my car(anything from a bolt/part falling off to just a rock hitting my underbelly.. dunno) Then I noticed that whenever I hit the gas, my car HEAVILY pulled to the left. I havent really been able to investigate but I'm going to today after work if daylight permits. I just wanted to see if anybody has any idea of what could be going on. Maybe somebody has had experience with this? HELP! Thanks

    Check to see if your sway bar endlinks are still there. Mine fell off after the bolt head sheared off

        I always remember the rule if you hear a clunk try to feel for play in the suspension and check the bushings. Now with the wheels check for play in the suspension for example with one hand at the top and at the bottom make sure you have jack support stands.

        I mean really good ones before you do this and try to see if the top of the wheel moves in and out and if the bottom of the wheel moves in and out if it does its the tie-rod end.

        If its side to side its usually an axle or a snap and pop noise. If the wheel is rolling and you hear a howl and grumble noise wheel bearings. If you hear a thud and skip on the slightest bump or pothole its usually the struts or shock absorption unit assembly.

            So I wasnt able to get to it yesterday since I was running around til it got dark. Thank you all for your input. i'm also going to check engine mounts and cv axles. I feel as though something with the axle could be wrong since it doesnt really pull when I'm coasting, but when i hit the gas, it pulls hella hard. I'll be sure to check everything everybody mentioned today if time permits..

            Thanks again for the responses!
