Need advice: Car sways side to side on sudden acceleration
As the title says, doesnt matter what speed it is. It feels like a fwd torque steer. It happens when step on the gas hard the car kind of moves side to side, like it sways.
I checked motor mounts by gas and brake method and couldnt find anything wrong. Also checked tire pressures their good. A local mechanic and i jacked up the car and we couldnt find anything wrong by wiggle suspesion parts, wheels and etc What can be the culprit? |

well if it was an alignment issue, wouldnt it pull all the time? it only happens when i floor it.
Im running 255/275 35 pss tires on stock edc non zcp suspension. I have 15mm spacers all around and have no muffler in the rear, just straight pipe |

Not enough rear toe in for the alignment and possibly too much negative camber.
