steering wheel jerking when shifting gears Options

[skogs]

Hi. When i accelerate hard, especially uphill, my steeringwheel tends to jerk to the left pretty hard just as i shift up. Any ideas what this could be? My tires are 205/45-16 with 2,4Bar.

If you have broken engine mounts then your car will be jumping with a loud thud. That happens when your engine is in 1st-2nd gear. I had it happen to me in 3rd gear but only when I accelerate super fast. Easiest thing you can do is this. Make sure engine is cold and car is parked on a flat surface. Pop the hood and stand back. If engine is tilted to the left (which is passenger side) then you have a broken engine mount. If you visibly cant see it then take a glass and fill it with water. Put scotch tape on it horizontally (make sure that it is) and place said glass on top of valve cover or anywhere with a flat surface on top of engine. If you see water visibly tilt to one side then one of your engine mounts is broken. You can do the same thing by using a level if you have it.
