I just purchased some new tires (Falken Ziex Ze512's) had them installed and balanced, (found out I have 2 bent rims... Thank you NYC potholes :rocketwho ). I alos got a 4 wheel alignment. After the alignment my car still pulls slightly to the right, at low speeds 20-45 MPH. The guy at the dealer told me that it could be a bent Upper oa Lower control arm. I don't know what the hell it could be.... Anyone here have any ideas.. suggestions

 

check your tire pressure on all tires, make sure ones not wack or something.

 

What about a Front End alignment?

 

my 01 tl was pulling to the right and people tell me that its my rotors cuz i got an alignment done once i bought the car and its still pulling but another thing is that when i brake my steering wheel shakes and i think its more likely the rotors... hope that help ya

 

Hmm, my car pulls to the left. Then when I straighten out the steering wheel, it pulls to the right. I think it's just the nature of our cars, kind of like how the rear driver's side suspension sits about a quarter-inch lower than the rear passenger side.

 

swap the two front tires if you have multi-directional tires.

 

Explain?

Don't really get a vibration when I brake thats Y I kind of ruled out the rotor theroy. Maybe I'll have them check again anyway

I have the Falken Ziex ZE512's how do I tell if their multi-directional?

 

look at the tread of the tires and see what direction it faces if you were to turn the tire around. if it faces the same was as you have it, then most likely, it is.

you could also check tirerack.com. im not 100% sure but they should have that info.

 

Mine doesn't...

 

mine pulls to the left, and i have had multiple alignments trying to get rid of it, i tried different tires, still did it. it could be acouple things. the output on the tranny is harder on one side than the other causing it to pull (per dealer, and a independent alignment shop), the engine insnt sitting perfectly in the engine bay, and brakes. those arethe options i have been told by multiple places.

 

have u tried swapping the two front tires? putting the left one on the right and vice-versa?

 

yes. it did it with my last set of tires (which the alignment place thought was causing it) then with my new set it still does it. i just rotated them and they still do it, its something else and not the tires

 

Mine pulls to the left and i was told by 2 places that the rear left camber was the cause and I needed a camber kit. My car is all original and has not been lowered
