Steering/Suspension??? - HondaClub.com

So since I've had the car (3 months), when I slammed on the accelerator, the steering wheel would jerk right, and when I would slam on the brake, it would jerk left. I didn't think anything of it. Now I've got a noisy creak that comes from the front right side of my car (I'm not sure if they're related), but yeah, it used to creak only at low speeds (like in the driveway), and now I can hear it creaking when I'm going 30 or 40 MPH when I turn the steering wheel, and even as I go over bumps.

I was told I've got a crack in my differencial, but I'm not sure they are related....who knows! I think the crack is causing my car to 'lurch' like a bronco when I'm starting off in 1st gear and my rev's drop below 1000 (normally it does that when you're down around 600)...

That's what I'm lookng for help with. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this one?

well pulling to right when accelerate is normal.. My 91 accord always does that... But the creaking could be a few things... Cracked diff or cv-joints not greased, wheel bearing not greased, check motor mounts.. thats just a few pointers,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

A little more slamming the pedal and you could have killed yourself.
