what will fix my pull to the left?

jzhgt02 · January 17th, 2012, 11:49 PM

i have an 02 gt that has a nasty pull to the drivers side. i got an alignment about 4 months ago n it didnt help and. i recently lowered it with ford c springs which helped a little bit. took it back to the shop after i lowered it and they said i didnt need cc plates but the car has a nasty pull to the left any ideas what it could be or what could fix it? they said the alignment is in specs but it wont drive straight

did you rotate your tires and try it after they were rotated?

You need new cc plates if you lowered it then have realigned and should be good

You dont not need CC plates because your lowered. It depends on how much its lowered. He said it was aligned after it was lowered and didnt need them. Anything up to a 1.5" drop does not need CC plates

yeah its not even 1.5 inch drop ford c springs drop it 1.25". could a wheel be warped or something? its been doing it quite a while but its just bothering the hell outta me lately.

Tires can cause a pull. i would rotate the tires and try it. If it still does it then go from there

My moms crv kept pulling to one side. I thought it needed an alignment. I took it to a shop and the guy said hell bet it's the tire separating in the middle. He took it around the block said that's the issue. I bought her new tires on the front and solved the issue. Maybe your issue is just that simple.

jzhgt02 · January 18th, 2012, 12:21 AM

alright well ill be getting new rims n tires in a few months n then check the alignment again and go from there.

did you check and make sure none of your brakes were dragging?

Lefty · January 18th, 2012, 09:20 AM

Does the pull happen with your driving, or when you're braking? If it's pulling harder while you brake, then chances are a caliper is sticking.

My k member is misaligned so I pull to the right

cbjohnson9 · January 18th, 2012, 11:29 AM

+1 rotate tires to see if it's still pulling

is there excessive toe play in the steering?=bad inner/outer tie rod(s).

How many miles are on the car? (I'm thinking ball joints)

mrbigjeep · January 18th, 2012, 11:35 AM

just because the alignment is in spec doesn't mean that the toe isn't adjusted to the right or left in both directions. i'm just sayin that if the toe is adjusted as far right or left as possible on both sides (yet still in spec) its gonna pull. do you have a sheet of the specs?
