2004 TL A/T pulls at low and high speeds
Hi,
I purchased a used Acura TL in November with 126,000 miles on it. Well serviced but noticed it has an odd pull in the front wheels. It happens when slowing to a stop - the only way I can think to describe it is it feels like if you catch an edge when skiing. The car just pulls in one direction and fights the wheel. At high speeds, when you take long arcing curves like a highway ramp there is a softness and a slight need to correct as well. I was just ordering tires as I assumed they are just old and the sidewalls are worn, but thought I’d ask here too since it might be something more sinister.
thank you for any thoughts you may have!

Null and proud of it
Mine had a slight left pull... Corrected temporarily by slightly over inflating right front tire...
I too had the hard left pull under moderate/heavy braking... 2008 TL base at 105K...
