alignment guru's needed!

so i went to get my alignment done....all is well drive straight for the most part until i hit the freeway at 50+ speeds it starts to pull to the right 65+ it pulls hard as if im making a lane change

i do plan on going back to double check with the guy who did my alignment but i dont wanna be a douche and automatically bash him.

so my specs are

would these specs have anything to do with my car pulling to the right?

no they wouldnt, not unless your rear suspension is all jacked up.

maybe your tires have bad wear patterns and are causing the pull.

alignment settings look fine. not sure why you wouldnt run the same amount of camber though, im assuming you dont have a camber adjustment. OR a caster adjustment. but they always offset the caster for the crown of the road so the car goes straight.

there is something called radial pull I would consider looking into that before point fingers good luck man

[MrChow]

Ever check all your tires PSI?

[Z33dori]

Every check all your tires PSI?

why on earth would u ever do that *sarcasm*

yea, its pretty surprising how many "alignment" problems are really just terrible tire pressure

[Slidin' Sam]

Check: Tire pressure, wheel balance (wheel weights DO fall off), current tire wear, rear alignment, and tire pressure (again).

[staggered_zenki]

Many Alignment Techs just shoot for the "Green" (meaning within Spec). Which your car is, bit its not DEAD-ON.

I'd agree to check your tire pressure, and make sure nothing is bent/twisted/etc.

let us know..

I work at a shop that does both tires and alignments and have seen "radial pull" more often than you'd believe. Like these guys have said, check your pressures first and if thats on, try rotating your front 2 tires side to side to see if the pull follows the tire.

And btw, most roads do have a crown in them so water can disperse properly. If your in the right lane, your car should slightly move towards the right. Some cars/roads make this more noticeable. If this is happening just a little bit, try going in the left lane to see if it changes. Thats on a road that you can travel in both lanes legally such as an interstate and not a 2 lane highway. (figured I better cover that just in case)

[kaidohms]

thanks guys for all the help.

i rotated the 2 front tires from side to side, and it corrected the problem.
