Nasty acceleration

I know the feeling of what you mean. When I fitted my coilovers to my 5th, on the way to the wheel alignment place my car felt like it was trying to throw me off the road. Likewise in my 2WS 4th gen, but not as bad since it doesn't have 4WS.

Oi Merlin

I really can't understand how Honda dealers either don't know or won't do 4ws alignment. Just read the bloody manual

You guys are gonna call me a idiot and I don't blame you but the reason it was driving so horrible was because of the lower frount ball joint . As you accelerated it was causing the ball joint to lift out off the arm hole and sort of put a camber on the wheel and then the wheel wanted to go where ever it wanted .
I did the other one up and working across the underside off the engine did up every bolt and marked them with a yellow paint pen but didn't do the drivers side ball joint up

Every single nut and bolt on this car is finger tight

It's like the bloke who put it together had a broken torque spanner or something!

It did have me scratching my head ,
I found out a lot about 4ws alignment thou so that's a plus
