Hey guys, been a while since I've been on the forums. I've noticed something strange with my car that someone may have experienced before.
The car is an 04 330Ci with about 60k miles that I picked up a few months back. Known issues are front left FCAB is shot and I think a bearing on the his right side is going bad (increased noise on left turns).
Spring maintenance planned are coilovers, Fcabs and Rtabs (now some form of wheel bearings too).
The issue I'm having is under heavy acceleration, the car starts pulling to the left (weird for a rwd car) and I find myself steering right to keep the car in line. As soon as I get off the throttle, it tracks straight again.
What could be causing his? Worn RTABs? Diff or subframe bushings? Some other bushings? Diff itself? I should mention as I was looking under/around the car today and it's about an inch lower on the driver side in the rear than the passenger side. The car isn't totally level but still seems too odd. Could this play a role?
I just had the wheel off over the weekend to replace a flat tire (torn on the inside?) and didn't notice a broken spring but I'll admit I wasn't looking for it either.
Any ideas?
TIA,
Nick

Have you checked your real half shafts? Maybe there is a CV joint binding back there. I had a similar issue with a Fiat sports car once. Rear wheel drive, but when the CV joint went out it really pulled to the side.
You've answered your own question, start your suspension refresh, Spring is here!"Known issues are front left FCAB is shot"
