Car Pulling to the Left
Hey guys, I have been having an issue where the car pulls to the left if I let go of the steering wheel. It is slight, but it always pulls to the left.
I don't believe the alignment is the problem. I had my wheels aligned at Firestone, and it didn't fix it. Then I had the rear subframe and front cross beam replaced, and the dealership did the alignment for that.
Still, the car pulls a bit to the left. The Firestone noticed the left tires were deflated compared to the right, so they reinflated all sides to spec. Still, problem persists.
What can cause this? Bad tie rod?

Starting with the front, swap the tires side to side. If the pull changes or goes away it's a tire problem. If there is no change, try the rears. Unless you have adjustable control arms or ball joints, the only alignment angle that can be adjusted is toe, which shouldn't cause a pull. It's ok to do this for test purposes even if you have directional tires.
