Pulling Right

Post by DuhNeon179 » Mon Oct 12, 2009 12:12 pm

I have noticed for a while now, that my car has been pulling right. I figured it would be the road. But it just pulls hard to the right as if I have a flat tire but I don't, I check the Tires and I got 35 PSI all around I think its called? If not that's a fail. I don't understand why it's pulling like this. I had the same problem before but that was because my right front tire had no pressure in it. Any possible reasons?

sometimes i've noticed that with very stiff suspensions uneven pavement can actually pull your car in different directions. But since you are only pulling one way i've got to think that its a suspension issue.

Possible causes in order of likelyhood:

car out of alignment
flat tire
broken/warn suspension parts
seized or frozen brakes
broken or warn cv-joints/axel
broken motor mounts (specifically trans mount)

I know it can't be a flat tire because it shows 35 on the Tire Gauge. I was thinking the alignment

An alignment shop should be able to fix or at least tell you what the problem is. I'd bet it's a bad tie rod end.

I'm gonna fall in line with everybody else. Check the alignment first. It's probably the the culprit and most likely the cheapest fix.
