pulling to the left when accelerating hard
Hi all
I did the plunge and replaced my ageing XF with a 2021 400 HSE with 55000km and nearly all options checked, including air suspension.
So far I'm very happy with the car, its fun to drive and very comfortable, and its off-road capabilities are helpful in Swiss pre-alps.
The only little issue I've noticed so far is a slight pull to the left when under full accelerating. Tires are almost new, and pressure is at spot. Hard breaking does not cause any deviations.
I have a full cover warranty, but wanted to check if any of you had the same issue and can give any hints so I'm prepared when going to JLR.
Many thanks
Chris

At that age/mileage it could be the front control arm bushings starting to get weak, these cars do have a bit of torque steer though due to the instant pull. I find all of the electric steering cars don't do the best job of keeping on center at full tilt, if you are slightly off straight when you floor it, it just goes that way.
Also worth having the alignment checked, as they are often out of these cars due to all the aluminum parts.

Thanks for chiming in. I in fact had the alignment checked twice by Jaguar, they got it right the second time. I think one thing to remember when checking alignment on a car with air suspension is to make sure its in drive mode and not lowered down. That probably screwed up the first alignment.
Now it goes straight like the Tesla

All JLR products need to be in "tight tolerance mode" if they have air suspension before you do any calibrations, the difference in ride height can be almost a 1/2" from 'normal', it allows +/- 10mm normally, goes to +/-3mm in calibration mode. Dealerships should know this but I find a surprising amount of people don't bother with it. Does not require a special computer, can be done with the door open/close and brake pedal application, yet I see it get skipped often. Glad you got your car sorted.
