Car pulls hard to the right under hard power
Yeah, it's me again. On the road at a cruise, I noticed the car pulls a bit to the right, so thought I would just take it in for alignment. But notice when I give it a lot of power, it pulls HARD, Very HARD to the right. Recently the car had the front end gone though because it was knocking, then the shafts/CV joints. Any idea what could be happening?

Are you hearing any noises, or is it simply just pulling. The easiest solution would be to get the alignment done, and see if the problem persists. Or just take it in for a diagnostic.

RE: Car pulls hard to the right under hard power
If it is AWD, then this wouldn't be it---if your car is FWD, i would guess either wheel balance, or just common torque steer. I have an S80 and it runs just fine. If I really punch it doin about 10 mph out of a turn, it pulls to the right. You just gotta get used to the control. The car has one drive wheel until the STC kicks in (the right wheel, I believe) so you will have drift when youre at lower speeds and high RPM's.
