Guys I am having an alignment issue with my 05 TL Auto. The car was pulling to the right so I had an alignment done. After the alignment I am still having the same issue. What is wrong with this alignment report. Car is pulling to the right even after alignment done. Here are the numbers:

LEFT FRONT:

Min --- Spec---Max Before After
CASTER: 2.6 4.0 3.3 3.3

CAMBER: -1.0 0.0 -0.6 -0.5

TOE: -0.10 0.10 -0.50 0.05

RIGHT FRONT:

Min --- Spec---Max Before After
CASTER: 2.6 4.0 3.1 3.1

CAMBER: -1.0 0.0 0.2 0.0

TOE: -0.10 0.10 -0.50 0.00

LEFT REAR:

Min --- Spec---Max Before After

CAMBER: -1.5 -0.5 -1.7 -1.7

TOE: -0.10 0.10 0.20 0.10

RIGHT REAR:

Min --- Spec---Max Before After

CAMBER: -1.5 -0.5 -1.2 -1.2

TOE: -0.10 0.10 0.10 0.05


Aligment Values:

Total TOE: FRONT REAR
0.05 0.15


CAMBER Difference: FRONT REAR
-0.5 -0.5

Caster Difference: FRONT REAR
0.2

Trust Angle: FRONT REAR
0.0


I really do not know what the numbers mean so I don't understand what is going. Any help will be appreciated.

ohh wow, I did some research and this seems to be a common issue. Well, I went to another alignment shop who checked the alignment and confirmed it was perfect. well, as of now I ordered two new tires for the front. lets see if that will help.

why dont you rotate the ones you have and see what happens?

Rotate your front tires side to side. If the car pulls to the left after that you have a tire that has a radial pull. If it still pulls to the right you know it is something else.

OP, my new TL-s has the exact same issue. No worries. If you have directional tires that are improperly rotated, you can develop radial pull as described above. It sucks, but nothing you can do about it until you get new tires.

You can either like stated rotate tires maybe a tire pull or could be torque steer

I have an 07 Type S and have been having this same problem since I bought the car.

Stock height stock rims
H&R sport springs stock rims
" ron jon rims
ISC coils ron jon rims
" xxr rims

I have had different suspension setups and 3 sets of rims and tires - rotated and about 6 alignments in last 2 years.

Nothing has fixed my nasty pull to the right. Nasty as in I can't let go of the steering wheel. My car won't track straight on its own.

I bought the car with 25k miles and now have just under 45k miles.

I am waiting on a front camber kit and then will be doing another alignment.

If I can't get the pull out I will be putting this car on a frame alignment machine.

So yea, if anyone finds a cure. I am all ears.
