Hi folks! The car veers sharply to the left, and I have to quickly straighten the steering wheel when I'm driving at low speed and suddenly accelerate hard. The old engine was completely rebuilt some time ago, taking the opportunity to install a modern differential output shaft. The steering rack was also replaced. Maybe it's the geometry?

Thanks in advance!

First up, check all front suspension, subframe and engine mountings.

It is most likely play in the suspension somewhere or even a bad tyre. I had that one the other day, a Falken with a failed belt in the tread area. It caused a bulge and therefore pull.

 

Only check the geometry AFTER checking for play. Most places won't check for play so it will be a waste of money.

Worn parts, lose parts, incorrect suspension set up. Un even corner weights.

 

any or all of the above can cause issues.

Mine did this with a flat tyre

Thank you guys! Even when I reverse, I notice a kind of 'play' in the front. Like a rocking motion.
