I have a 99 tl, just put tires and alignment on front. Now under acceleration car pulls left. Only under acceleration, if I am coasting it drives true. any thoughts?

I recently had this same issue. I recentyl replaced a bunch of front end components and then brought my car in for an inspection, alignment, and tire rotation. When I left the shop it my car was pulling a little bit more than when I brought it in! I immediately brought it back to sears and turns out the problem was that when they rotating my tires they didnt think to check if they were directional(morons). So basically all they had to do was swap my front left tire with my front right tire. Been driving straight and true ever since. I would bring it back to where ever you had the service/ tires done at and have them figure out what they did wrong, also have them inspect your suspension components. Something could be wearing out causing the pull. If that is the case make sure you have them show you exactly what is wrong so they dont try screwing you. Good luck

Thanks for the response.This past Saturday is when I replaced the tires and had the alignment. the upper and lower boots seem good, I had them checked by a local shop before the tires and alignment. I just feel something is wrong with the alignment.

If you feel there is something wrong then there probaly is. Nobody knows your car better than you. If and when you bring it back to whoever did your work for you I would have them recheck everything they did. Double check alignment, and have them make sure tires are mounted properly. It never hurts also to let the tech hop in and ride around the block to show him exactly what you are expieriencing.

Yeah, that is just what I am doing after work today. It seems that it didn't happen before the alignment but now it is, strange? Thanks again

I agree. If its doing something you dont like bring it back and have them re do it. Also check the PSI in the tires. That can cause a pull as well.

Most alignment shops will take the car for a test drive after performing any adjustments. Take it back and tell them what it's doing. If you were not experiencing this problem prior to the new tires and alignment, then have them recheck their work. You could try rotating the tires F>R to see it still pulls.
