    Steering/alignment issue, car pulls to the left

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I have been dealing with this steering issue for the last year, it's a new year now and want to get this finally fixed and start enjoying my car again. Here is the issue, I have had three alignments done and the car still continues to pull/push left with the steering wheel having a lot of play especially on freeways. If anyone has any other suggestions they would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    It's most likely something like this. I had the same type of problem. They had to rotate the tires on the rim to stop it from pulling. Here is before then after.





    As you can see. You can have options to have the least vibration or more pull to the left. This is due to not able to get perfect weight on tires or wheels. Just not possible. This is why weights are used to counter balance the wheel to hopefully stop the situation your having to stop. Try to find a reputable shop with a hunter machine and do a high speed wheel force balancing above 55mph. See the printout of what's going on and tell them you don't want any pull if it comes up and you in fact do have the issue.

    you can put your oem wheels on and see if you still have the problem. that way you can narrow down where the problem lies. either the alignment or the wheels. I had handling problems with my bmw with bridgestones. switched to michelins and the problem went away
