Pulling to the right.

I've noticed a bit of a recurring problem with my car lately.

She pulls to the right a little bit when driving straight, however the problem is almost non existent when the ground is DRY.

That's right, it pulls to the right on rainy, muggy, nasty days only...

I just did my rear brakes, so I checked all 4 corners for dragging and that was not the issue. I'm hopeful that there is something painfully obvious I missed, that will save me the hassle(and cost) of an alignment.

I might add, the wheels are not bent and the tires are worn evenly.

Get an alignment.


Also, it supposed to pull a bit to the right (in countries that drive on the right side of the road) so if you start to nappy nap you wind up in the ditch not the grille of a semi and die (like a kid did about a mile from me two days ago).

So that means essentially it pulls to right every single day during from September to June right? :throwup:

If after the allignment it does the same
I would hazard a guess at a worn wishbone
bush or ball joint?

Ask the people who did your alignment.

Ryan, It's not what one might consider a normal amount of pull. Also I'd like to reiterate the statement of inclement weather; It has not been a problem on dry days.

Not quite every day, as we've had a few sunny ones thrown into the mix so far ;D This popped up in the last 3-4 weeks anyway, It's just gotten bad enough that I no longer believe it's my imagination. ;(

Ryan, I haven't had an alignment since I purchased the car. Up until now, I had no reason to. :/

I guess I'll suck it up until I fork out for new tires.

Jack up the front of your car.

On the front of the tire, measure between tow distinct tire treads.

on the rear, do the same, 180ยบ out. If the rear measurement is more by about 1/32-1/4, your toe is good, and should drive straight (not nesc. with the steering wheel straight)

Tis a bot. PM a moderator about it, and that member (and potentially their IP) will be banned.

Reported it last night when I saw it. That little ! up in the corner. How would this even make it through when your first few posts have to be reviewed and 'approved'?

Check your tyres condition..And especially the year manufacture.

Not to mention the pressures

30 PSI on one side and 20 PSI on the other is a great reason for it to pull, and (might need clarification) colder conditions would cause the pressure to change (rain, slush, crap) And possibly be lower, so it would increase the magnitude of the pull.

Or your tires could be wore funny in which case you'd need to fix the problem that caused them to wear like that (Toe edge Guy^) then get new tires, your old ones can't fix themselves the sidewall gives enough to make that not work.

All excellent advice, and most of it I can't believe I neglected to try... Wow, I didn't even consider tire pressure.

I'm actually disappointed in myself right now...

Thanks guys!

Also to check the tires rotate them and see if it still pulls right or starts pulling left
