Problem still persists, car pulls slightly to the left....
Hi,
I would like some suspension gurus to chime in on this issue. So here's the shake down: Everything was fine prior to upgrading to PSS10s, was running on ZSP suspension. After the suspension upgrade, and a replaced driver-side tie rod, and two alignments(one by an indy shop after the suspension upgrade and before the tie rod replacement, one by the dealership after the tie rod replacement). My car pulls to the left when the steering wheel is straight. What do you guys think about the cause? The tie rod isn't adjusted correctly? Bad alignment? Wheel out of balance? Uneven wear in tire tread(I had my driver side tire replaced due to defect, so the driver side is new, and passenger side is about 30-35% worn)? This has been driving me NUTS! LOL..... TIA

Could be: Tire pressure low on one side Unbalanced wheels Tire wear? Did you ever get an alignment after mounting the new tire? |

I'll double check the pressure, but I'm almost certain that the two sides are identical, because this was one of the first things I checked awhile back when this pulling problem started. I hope it's something simple and not costly like a unbalanced wheel. One of those little weights could have fallen off after the initial front tire mount and balance...... I'm gonna take my wheel off and see if any weights are missing...... thanks

Yeah, his suggestion helps a lot. Put on some stocks that are properly balanced. And if the problem still persists then bring the car to a shop to get it checked.
