I recently got my 2004 R53 aligned and the shop told me the left ball joints were bad so I replaced the left inner and outer myself then got it realigned. The problem I'm having happend about a week after the alignment which is every time I accelerate no mater what gear the car jumps to the right by itself, I put it in cruise on the freeway and when the car starts to accelerate when going up a hill it jumps to the right and then back when it lets off. Please help if anyone knows anything about this thanks!
Thanks a lot! That was it! Just finished putting it back together and it goes as straight as an arrow, I've been worrying about this for weeks just know that I didn't torque it right
