Allignment is Good, Pulls to the Left??
Allignment is Good, Pulls to the Left??
So my 09 pulles to the left, after I put on Micky Thompson 285's, I have took it to 3 allingment shops. All said that the allingment is good, one said that if it still pulls that I may need an off set tie rod end.?? Is this the way to go? is there other options? will this fix it? Thanks. Every add on seems to lead to more $$ for more add ons. Life is good.

Check the wheel bearings for drag. Jack the front end up and spin the wheels by hand. You might have to pry the brake pads back just a little to get it moving enough to tell.

could be a radial pull from the tires too. theset trucks really react to road crown too. No road is perfectly flat due to engineering for water run off when weather hits. just for giggles, drive in the far right lane (like on surface streets where there is 4 or more lanes). if it starts to pull to the right then go to the left lane, should pull to the left. OR swap tires from left to right (if they are not directional tires) and see if that changes things. Radial pull is a pain to deal with cause the only real way to get rid of it is new tires. also check tire pressures. if one side is lower than the other, it will pull to that lower side.

cbrahs; Dirt roads and 2 land HWYs here. What I have drove on the I-State in the passing lane it really pulls to the left. So what I need to do is rotate tires see if that fixes it, and check for caliper drag?? Thanks for the help.

get on the interstate and drive in the far right granny lane. the pull should reduce and or start pulling to the right. swap the tires from left side to right side after that I-State drive and see if it gets better or worse. also can look for a caliper drag but if you are on the freeway and get home the caliper will be so hot you won't be able to touch it or come close to touching it. make sure tire psi's are identical too.
