MacRS200 Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Noticed a bit of clutch slip on the wife's IS200, slips about 500rpm and then bites again. Anyway whilst testing this out I thought it was pulling left when I lifted off the throttle, so got a straight bit of road with a slight hill and tried again. What is actually happening is the car pulls to the right under acceleration and straightens up again when you lift off. The pull I thought was to the left must have been me correcting what was actually going on. It is not major but I assume that it is either the thrust angle not being straight or something "on the move". Anyone had this before and any pointers to have a look at.

TDIPLC Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Would be worth checking the rear suspension bushes Neil. The differentials can move around a fair amount which will effect the rear toe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 I agree with tdi, it seems the final drive train is going off-line and rear-steering the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacRS200 Posted April 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Thank you Mark and Tony, tis what I feared bushes shot. Really don't need this at the mo, took a week off to fit a new bathroom and 2 days have gone getting mine through the MOT. Question is does it need immediate attention?

Assuming the car is safe and predictable then the repair can wait..... Would the use of a ramp and some torque loading at the diff help you identify the area in need...
