weston215 Posted September 10, 2025 Report Share Posted September 10, 2025 2013 Ford Edge fwd 3.5 engine. It will pull hard to right on acceleration and on shift points. Will sometimes feel squirrely when following long curves . Once you reach road speed and hit final gear it will sometimes scoot back to the left. I initially thought to a motor/trans mount issue relating to engine torque, but I have replaced all still have issue. I don't have discernable tie rod looseness or wear. This fact tends to lead me to an azle/cv joint issue. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago Sounds simular to torque steer. Check lower control arm bushings (most common cause of pulling on acceleration), worn ball joints (wanders under load, feels loose when cornering), or worn tie rod ends (drifting during acceleration or deceleration.) Reason you probably feel it at shift points is because as the transmission changes gears, a different level of torque is applied to the wheels and the change in force (when the lower control arm bushings are bad), causes the wheel geometry to shift forward or backward, pulling the car left or right. Get the car up on a lift and check the rear bushings of the front lower control arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
