Alignment problem
Alignment problem
I got my car aligned at some performance shop, just to make sure everything was done correctly. They fixed the toe, centered the steering wheel, and there was no need to adjust camber since it was just barely within factory spec with my drop.
The car was pullying crazy to the right before the alignment. About a day after the alignment, I noticed the car pulling right like crazy again. But I noticed after making a 90 degree left turn, it will go back to almost perfect. But then after making a right turn, it'll get worse again.
Anyone ever heard of a problem like this?

something is binding in your steering , it could be number of things , but take a look at your strut bearings first, also take it back to alignment shop , be nice and explain your problem. Keep us updated

The strut bearings have no effect on your alignment.
Incorrect camber makes your car pull. Items the effect camber are the strut and the lower control arm. Something is loose, check the lower strut mount bolts and check the lower control arm for worn bushings or a bad ball joint.
Also check the upper strut mount, that shouldn't cause a drastic pull, but will cause some noise over bumps and when you turn your steering wheel. Make sure the center nut that holds the sturt piston in place doesn't move when you turn your wheels. If it's loose or moves side to side, replace the upper strut mount.
