Does your G80/82Xdrive pull in a certain direction under load?
I noticed in my G80 Xdrive that under heavy acceleration that it is wanting to go to the right.
I find myself holding the wheel significantly left to compensate. - doesn't feel normal. I took it to the dealer to check it out and their response was "That's normal." Is anyone else experiencing this? Is it normal? Any recommended solutions? |

Yeah, its not normal. I can use launch mode, in mine, without even holding onto the steering wheel. Usually when something pulls to one side, like that, it has something to do with the drivetrain. Are you sure you're not driving with it in RWD?

Just seemed like the dealer shop did NOT want to put any effort in because maybe it's considered warranty work and there's no money in it for them?? Idk but I'm no stranger to steering and suspension as I was a tech for over 8 yrs. Feels like a rack bushing or maybe a control arm bushing is shot. Just felt like they wanted to get me out of the shop. |

I've seen quite a few G8x owners mentioning "off" alignments from new.
Even for me (M3C RWD), the car had some weird characteristics while under heavy throttle. Sure enough, my rear toe was way off. |
