| Description of the problem | under acceleration,... And only under acceleration,... The 2005 cr-v... "torque-steers"... To the right! The harder the acceleration,... The harder it pulls to the right!... If this car was being driven by a person that was not paying proper attention to their driving... They would definitely have an accident!... The car would go to the right and go off the road,.. Or hit anything that was to their right!.. I. E. Another car, pedestrian,... Tree,... Etc. This problem may very well have existed from day one,... However it has virtually always been driven... "gently"... For best fuel mileage.. It was only after a mechanic replaced a faulty "anti-lock braking-system module" that this was discovered. After the abs module was replaced, it was test-driven. (i. E.) accelerate, then brake,... Repeat. Under this harder than normal acceleration, the torque-steer was discovered. Note: (1.) vehicle wheel alignment is good... (2.) tires are all properly inflated... (3.) at a constant/ steady speed,... And during braking... The car always goes straight! (4.) it only pulls hard to the right during acceleration... The greater the acceleration... The harder it pulls to the right! (5.) this car has not been involved in any sort of accident.. Attacked any curbs,... Hit any serious potholes... Etc. |
