Steering problem
2003 Acura MDX All Wheel Drive 99000 miles
I just purchased a used Acura and noticed when I drive that the steering pulls what do you think that is? Is it normal for an AWD vehicle

Does this happen when applying the brakes? Or just going 60 on the highway

Ok make sure you have power steering fluid in it, and I think the pull to one side is that you need an alighnment. But you can never be too sure, if you have a warranty get it back there and make them fix it, if not then you still need to get it back there and ask them why its doing that, and the care is supposed to have no problems with it. Can they kindly fix the problem

A stiff wheel. But a bad powersteering pump and low fluid will cause this too.
