    2014 Model S lurches left when accelerating, right when regen braking. Steering wheel 10-15 degrees off center to the right.

    Yes, it fixed it. I guess it was allowing the rear driver wheel to toe out making me have to turn right to compensate. Doesn't seem like it would have caused as big of a problem as it did.

    Yup back to center and riv Back to center and drives straight! I probably wouldn't have guessed the toe-arm would throw the steering wheel off that much, especially at low speeds. I will report back here if any of the symptoms return. After checking everything of course. Was debating calling...

    Had just enough daylight to check the bolts. The problem was a loose toe-arm bolt. The nut was half a turn past finger tight... Thanks for saving me a ton of time and money messing around at sc. All the bushings were very stiff using a pry bar, so I didn't even think to check the bolts.

    Thanks, I'll torque it down tomorrow morning and see if that doesn't help. Next step I'll just replace the toe arms. I'm just confused since the problem has shown up, went away, and came back.

    I recently had my car aligned at Tesla after new front control arms. The car drove perfectly for about 2 weeks then suddenly the steering wheel was about 15 degrees off to the right and the car lurched left/right when accelerating or letting off the pedal. Tesla wanted to charge me another $275...
