I have a s13 with coils and new tie-rods. When i drive it pulls to the right but if make a left it will go straight then if i make a right it will start pulling to the right again. Any idea what this could be? I've had an alignment done and he had trouble doing it but im going back to day to have it checked. But this will be my 3-4 one within a year.

play somewhere in the suspension, usually comes from traction rods bushing or rack bushings.

rack and pinion maybe? the stock one tends to wear out quick when you lower a car...mine went out on my old hatch and it pulled to the left all the time...

Well found out the rack is bad :( . How long can i drive on it? My friend said its not to bad he works at fire stone and did the alignment and. Said it was bad but thinks it will be ok for a while.

Get new tension rods. Worn out RH tension rod bushing can cause that. If your rack isn't leaking, it may not be the culprit. Could also be messed up RH LCA bushing.

Also, if you used aftermarket tie rods, make sure to use the spacers they come with to correct for the lower ride height.
