Steering wheel turns right, from the start

Hello,

Has anybody experienced a pull to the right when you first accelerate. For example, if I'm in a stop, the steering wheel is straight in position. Once I start accelerating the wheel just starts turning right and the car pulls right.

Sounds like you have an alignment or potentially toe arm issue. Best to get the car's suspension and alignment checked.

This is of course assuming you have checked the basics, such as tire pressures and you're doing this test on a smooth/even road.

Thanks asbrr

I've taken the car to 4 different alignment shops... Two said it was the tire, another one the control arms and the last one said the FR strut is bad....

So dont know what else to think, just looking for other drivers with a similar issue

Did they check and adjust the rear end?
It might not instantly turn the steering wheel right but if the rear end isn't properly adjusted it can thrust a car in a direction depending on how uneven the setup is.

Tell us some details about your car like model, active steer yes/no etc

The rear end is also aligned according to the technicians and the alignment system. Its a 2011 128i with 264 wheels (135i 18") and kumho SPT tires. No active steering

How are the tyres? Do you have measurements for inner and centre tread depths for all four?
