G20 pulls to the left during acceleration after putting stock springs back on.
Weird. Had KYB Gr2s with Tien SS and switched back to stock springs and new stock bumpstops. Now it pulls to the left a bit during accelerating, but not during breaking or neutral coasting.

check your lca (lower control arm) bushings.

the same happened to me. all was fine, then went & got a alignment, & then when driving the car would pull viloently to the left, jacked it up. & the pass LCA bushing was basically gone.

passenger LCA bushings go through hell when the power steering line leaks (which happens always)

I'll check them again but I replaced uppers and lowers early summer this year. I rotated the tires as well, maybe I'll swap them back and see.

Engine mounts possibly loose or something, torque steer like a mofo.

The one on the driver side is a good junk yard pull with no play. The passenger side is a Napa part. Been using the driver side one for a couple years and the passenger side one since early summer.

I could check the mounts. They are all new and replaced just recently.

The thing that gets me is all I did was jack it up, change out the springs and short shifter (PITA) and lower it back down.

Wheel bearing/hub?

It was the tire and/or wheel from the back. Rotated back to the way it was when I started and the problem is gone. New tires and wheels as of a few months ago.

It wasn't a directional tire installed wrong was it?
