Well i hope that i posted this in the right section. So here we go

So a month ago i noticed something was off when i was driving,so i took it in for a alignment. Finding out the car needed one. So it has been raining off and on and i dont really DD my 350z that much any more. So this past week i was noticing that when i would accelerate at any rpm above 2k that the car would jerk to the right hard and would need to use my steering wheel to keep it in line.

So i need help in trouble shooting the origin of the problem. i am going to take the car back to the shop for them to double check there alignment but what also could cause this problem? the car tires are 4 1/2 years old and maybe got a year left on them. the true coils over have now 25k miles on them since i installed them and the Car(2007) mileage is 51,000ish.

any help would be much appreciated.

 

Sorry but i cant remember how to edit my post. anyways, i just got back from the alignment place and the mechanic test drove the car after he adjusted things. He felt the exact same thing as i did. I told him that i think it could be the VLSD going out. and he agreed that it could be that but cant say for a 100%.

 

No. As the VLSD gets old and wears out, it just becomes an open diff.

 

Mine was doing that and it was a shot rear bearing.....

 

find a new mechanic.... i would check the lower inner bushings to make sure its not blown out... check wheel bearings for play, check tie rod ends

 

when i was at work today i noticed that some dark dry oil was on the pumpkin(going from the top to the bottom,on the diff cover). I remember when searching someone said something about it,that some seal broke and that what it is. Correct me if im wrong. Also, it seems like they cant get my car in full correct alignment. The mech. said that the camber arms(rear) are all the way out and toe.I will add that the car drives perfectly straight and doesn't go left or right when hands off the steering wheel.


P.s i have aftermarket camber arms. back in 2012 when i got new tires and alignment that everything was in correct spec.

 

shot bearing from what part? i have had a clicking noise come from the rear left axel for gosh idk how many years.

 

It's a 350Z not 370 rite?

I would check for play in your wheel bearing and bushing and ball joint on lower control arms as someone here suggested already. I would imagine a alignment shop would notice this and tell you.

 

that is axle click, known issue and simple fix

 

ya, i know about the click fix. just thought me not doing the grease would cause more damage by some chance lol but ive noticed i can steer my car on the high way just by the accelerator pedal, acc. to go right and let off to go left.

 

SO finally got my car to the Mechanic(other reason why it went so soon). Apparently like one of the people in the post said there was something loose in the suspension.
