So, the evo got hit in the left front side and damaged something I cant figure out. Everytime I accelerate hard it jerks to the left. Kinda unsafe I think... I dont know what or where to begin looking but I believe it damaged something in the steering. A bent rod or shaft somewhere? Maybe? Anyone's help would be awesome. Thanks!

 

Take it to a repair shop.

 

Something is bent somewhere. Get it checked out by someone who knows evos.

I remember when my buddy smacked my 8 in to a pavement a few years ago, everything looked fine. After reviewing the control arms they were bent by more than 15 milimeters. A car like that may look ok but wouldn't drive straight ever.

 

have it alligned

 

See below. This is a non-contributing comment. I would not post more like that here.

OP - take it to a body/repair shop. You often cannot visually see damages to the control arms or spring mounts.

 

Baby troll?

 

Must be alota power in that ride to be jerking sideways each time.....lol......really though take it to a shop I had the same issue in my subie, Toxins right on point with his comment. could be an alignment but more then likly its a control arm....good luck bro

 

take it somewhere thats a good shop have them insepect the car could be many things from alingment out to a bent control arm to even a bent wheel or bent axle, best bet is to go to a repair shop.

 

Not just any repair shop, a certified body repair place.

 

A good body shop can put it on the frame machine too. Make sure everything lines up.

 

lol...


I had this problem when my suspension bushings were jacked. do you have any noises when it happens?

 

The key to the first post was the line:

If the car is not damaged. Or has not been damaged. Bushings, blown strut, cracked spring are the places I would look. Listen for metal on metal sounds for bushings gone bad. Bouncy car (leaking fluid too) for strut and spring issues.
