My 86 4KCS pulls to the right when I hit the gas...goes straight when I get off the pedal...SOS
I was trying to see if you guys would help me do a little brain storming about what my issue could be.
My 86 4KCS pulls to the right when I push the accelerator. When I release it, the car straightens up. So if you 'pump' the gas, it will kinda wiggle.
Now, I'm used to a car 'squatting' when you mash the gas pedal down, but pulling either right or left....that's new to me.
Any thoughts/ideas? Anyone ever go through this?
Here's what I was thinking:
Tie rods (I need to replace one for sure)
Alignment (w/camber adjustment)
Suspension related (e.g., struts)
I appreciate any insight.
Thanks very much!

I'd say control arm bushings and tie-rod ends...
and maybe lower ball joint?
Jack the front of the car off the ground and see if you have play in the front wheels (back forth, turning, etc).
I know when I drove my 4kq up and down the road it did pull a little bit under accel, but the CA bushings were so shot that the whole assembly literally moved back and forth 1/4"
