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?

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.
