Car Pulls to the Right - Page 2

Good luck, hopefully it is just the tires because that's something simple to replace.

I had this exact same problem on my old beater Civic. I spent $600 replacing the shocks and springs, then some more money replacing the bushings and other suspension parts thinking that was it... it only partially fixed it. My car was pulling really hard to the right, I had to put the wheel at almost 45 degrees to keep it straight. I ended up selling the car cause I didn't want to dump too much money into it, but one thing I didnt check was the tires since they all "looked" ok to me.

annoying thing is, the steering wheel has that slight pressure to go back to the center position so i have to constantly pull it slightly to the left or counterclockwise.

I feel you. The tires will be ok, it's just the radial ply inside them. They will wear at the same rate, you'll just have that annyoing pull. The good thing is you forget about it after a while so don't stress out.

There was a topic on this before, I am having the same problem since the beginning of the year. Ever since I installed my Tein Basics and got an alignment, my wheel has to be left a bit to go straight (not center) I switched tires already and am still having the same problem.

You have an alignment issue, it started to pull after the spring install.

Had alignment done and the specs were ok, even went back twice and still same problem!!! ARGH!! I'm pretty much used to moving the wheel left a bit now when I go straight.

Try a different shop. What tires are you runing?
