So, quick question

[SR20d2fourT]

I had my left rear tire replaced and the moment I drove off the car was pulling to the right really hard.

I went to my house and torqued it down the correct way and it still did it.
Also, when I take a left turn at anything above 30 mph's, you can hear the tire loosing contact w/ the pavement.

I do have a welded diff and this IS NOT it. I hear it all the time and know it's not something the diff would be producing.

Still drifts great though :) hahaha.

So, question....could this tire be the cause of my problems? btw, I have 3 other really crappy practically bald tires. :)

wait so was the replacement tire brand new?

With a welded diff both of your rear tires have to have almost EXACTLY the same circumference or you will have this problem. One brand new tire with one half worn tire (or one half worn tire with one 3/4 worn tire) is almost certainly the cause of your problem. Tires should always be replaced in PAIRS, not individually. Even without the welded diff it could cause pre-mature diff failure as one tire is constantly turning at a slightly different speed than the other.

Well, just replaced all four brand new. Set me back 3 bills but it's going straight now haha. :)


thanks for the input +1 to both.
