Pulls hard right on acelleration
Thank you all for following up. I finally had the ARB Locker removed and my old rear diff put back in, after many months troubleshooting this is the only thing that worked. My LR4 is back to normal! I’m not messing with trying to figure it out. It has to do with the teeth count on the locker...- kevinkelley

Yes. With slight acceleration but with continued torque, for example going up a slight incline and if I play with the throttle, the issue is consistent. I can feel it in the steering wheel, like micro braking, slight jerking left/right. The more throttle, the more noticeable it is (more...- kevinkelley

Talking about throwing ideas out, good or bad, I was thinking of the type of oil viscosity. The shop I use was telling me that he recommends I come back to have the engine oil and diff oil changed after 1,000 miles. Just throwing ideas out, right.- kevinkelley

Any idea is a good idea. Thank you all. I plan on taking the truck to my independent auto shop to run all these ideas by them.- kevinkelley

Update: No change. I did some testing today. Steering issue is the same in access mode. An interesting finding, the steering issue is the same in the various TC modes, ie, sand, snow, mud, gravel, etc... Even more interesting and I have to test it again in the morning, it doesn’t seem to have...- kevinkelley

I will give this a try tomorrow. Thank you for keeping after this. Thank you to everyone that has shared your time and thoughts. I do need to emphasize one point: the dealership tells me the steering issue goes away when they swapped all 4 tires with stock LR4 tires from another LR4 under...- kevinkelley

So here is a thought but pardon my use of terminology... Torque Steering Issue: The drivetrain turns the rear diff which spins the wheels. If the gearing ratio is slightly different from what is programmed in the onboard computer, with very little to zero tolerance, could this cause more torque...- kevinkelley

Pulls hard right on acelleration
I hate to admit but your point is exactly my concern. I didn’t have the issue before the locker... well, it’s easy to point to it. I have in the back of my mind to swap back in the ok’d diff and be done with it. A number of LR buddies have talked me back off the ledge on that idea... their...- kevinkelley

Pulls hard right on acelleration
I plan on testing this out. I will ask (taking notes of what to ask, test and follow up on with the auto shop), the shop I use is pretty good with torquing nuts and bolts from what I have seen first hand. But I will reconfirm. I want to exhaust everything else before looking to replace the...- kevinkelley

The dealership and my independent auto shop checked the steering sensors, all good.- kevinkelley

I’ll do some research on these -yaw sensor or accelerometer. with that said, I can only assume a fault would pop up. I have the same steering issue in off-road height. I haven’t tried in access mode but I will. I do plan on revisiting the possibilities of something wrong upfront, ie. cv...- kevinkelley

Thank you for thinking this over. It’s all I’ve been thinking about. I have more money in recent work than the almost 10yr old vehicle is worth but she is my baby and I love her so much. I’ve built her as a perfect overland vehicle. She’s been so good to me over the years. Unfortunately I...- kevinkelley

Thank you for asking. Correct. Which makes it difficult to troubleshoot or isolate the issue to any single fix.- kevinkelley
