Acura3.0CL

Hey guys....ever sence i bought the car 2 years ago, ive had no wrecks or done anything that woudl mess up the suspension. Every time i get new wheels or tires i go get the damn thing alligned. Shit, i even bought a 3 year package so i can come in once every 6 months and get free balancing and allignment and stuff.

Well recently theres been some info that might point to the fact that my car was wrecked before i bought it. Car Fax shows its clean but it still seems like it might of been wrecked.

My question is, my car is NEVER alligned. Even after i take it to get an allignment done, it still will ALWAYS pull to the right. What can i do? what parts cause this "off Allignment" ...(maybe i should replace them?) I mean this is drivin me nuts, im waisting tires because of this problem. I need you all's help..what could be causing this off allignment and what can or should i do to fix it???

Thanks....

my car always seems to be slightly to the right.. not very much but just a little to the right-- i always figured it has something to do with weight .. but that just might be me being insane

are you sure you are on a flat road?

And I've heard somewhere before that it is always supposed to pull a lil to the right.....for safety reasons. Like if you fall asleep behind the wheel or somethin... I

dude i got the same problem also...one of my many little problems...got at the alignment place tells me its all aligned perfect and printed out sheets but my car pulls to the RIGHT soo bad after 2 sec u basically switch lanes... what causes this?

EXACTLY!! I KNOW YOUR PAIN!!! I just got new tires, i gotta get this problem figured out before i end up wearin the crap outta them...dude i know what your talkin about...we have the SAME problem!

It can be lots of things, it can be the tires. If one is not the same it will pull, or it can be the shocks, etc. There like 100 reasons Y it can be pulling to the right. Wheel alignment is just the most poplaur blame for it. You only need wheel alignment if there is uneven wear in ur tires.

Acura3.0CL, just because ur car pulls like mine doesnt necessarly mean that your wearing your tires... as long as the alignment is all in spec your fine... i still have no idea whats causing mine to pull

it's funny, i'm just thinking about the same thing. Mine is also pulling to the right. so i have to constantly holding on to the wheel. can't even let go for a split second.

I took my car for an alignment last week and the guys there says that the camber and toe are good, but the caster angle is bad. and the caster is not adjustable in our cars. something about the joints are welled/part of the upper control arms, so they cannot fix it. the only way that they might be able to fix it is by rotating your tires. but i have directional tires and I've just rotated them the day b4 the alignment, so there's really nothing they can do. and i've just wasted 2 hrs and 40 bucks!!!

I would really like to hear from the other more experienced members have to say about this.

always trying to be different, eh Rick?

I got new tires and it started pulling to the right, so I got it alligned. It still pulled to the right after they said everything was in spec. So they switched my front tires around and guess what, she now pulls to the left. Gotta be a tire thing (or they didn't balance my wheels properly)--

mines weird when im on straight road sometimes i can get it to stay straight for like 5 seconds and sometimes after a split second im switching lanes... i think it might be cause i "flipped" my rotational tires...like cris crossed them and re mounted them

i think my cars just been wrecked and im screwed..

ib_jimmy

mine too. dude said its the caster. the way to fix that is to take it to a frame shop.
