I have an 06 RL with 83K on it, and when driving, it feels like it is pulling to the right.

Anyone else have this issue now or in the past?

Thinking of getting an alignment done, just to be sure. Is this something I can do at a place like NTB, Town Fair Tire, etc, or only have the dealership do it?

Anyone have off hand the man. specs for the wheel alignment?

Thanks...

 

It's either your alignment or a tire that has a radial pull. Easiest and cheapest way to diagnose the problem is to rotate the front tires side to side. If it pulls to the left after rotating it's a bad tire. If it still pulls to the right it's your alignment.

 

What mods do you have?
How old are the tires?
When was your last alignment?
Have you hit anything?
Has your wife/GF/significant other driven the car since it started?

 

No mods.

Bought the car with 82K - came with brand new General G-Max AS-03's, have about 1200 miles on them.

Not sure last alignment, no record of it in the maint. journal.

Recently hit a big rock that cracked the underneath of the front right bumper, but never made it past the plastic. (previous post on that)

No significant other, and I dont let anyone drive my RL.

 

You could get away with an alignment, especially if one hadn't been done in a while.

Most places can do a 4 wheel alignment, just as them for the before and after print out.

 

Got an alignment today. The rear was way off, fronts were fine. Seems to be driving straighter, but didn't do a ton of driving after.

 

good deal, keep us posted.

 

Drove about 20 miles in it this morning on my way to work, and it appears to be much better, although still a tiny bit of right drift. Very less pronouced now, and the remaining drift\pull could be associated with road slope\uneveness.

The tires on the right side of the car have a little more wear on the outer edge then the ones on the left, but with only 1200 miles on them, tough to really tell a difference.

Either way, the alignment greatly improved the right side pull.

 

Cool, if you start rotating those tires with every oil change you might get that uneven wear to level off. Maybe.
