After rotating tires, getting alighnment done, and motor mounts replaced....
I'm still pulling to the left. It's nice when I'm on the interstate and a left turn comes up, I just let go of the wheel, and the car drives itself into the turn, but right turns result in a little resistance in the wheel. What else could it be?

I just went through the same crap. My tires were rotated, tires switched from wheel to wheel, new ball joints, we just couldnt figure out why it was still not getting in alingment. Mechanic said the frame might be twisted, and if I really wanted it fixed to take it to a frame shop. I said screw it, Ill live with it. Last week, I got new rims, ASA Jh3, and the car is in perfect alignment again. Im not saying get new wheels, just telling you how mine was fixed

Hey guys. My car is not pulling to one side while driving but when i inspect the tires there seems to be more wear on the inner side of the tires. Should i get an alignment even though my car goes in a straight line?

If the Freeway isnt perfectly level your car will "pull" to the side of the road that the lane you are in is tilted...For example here in LA the Left lanes espicaially are 'tilted' to the left meaning that i have to keep the wheel cocked to the right to stay in my lane, but when i get off the freeway i can go perfectly straight without my hand on the wheel...not that i would ever do such a thing.
There are also rumors about the fact that some factory settings will actually put a pull in the car so it takes some user input to keep the car on the road, the theory being that with input you get more aleart drivers. Im not sure on the truth of this though.

All right, I'll have to look into that. Would bad wheel bearings cause this problem? This doesn't only happen on interstates, but any road. Yes, I know sometimes the road is slanted, probably for the purpose of keeping water from collecting in the middle of the road, but if I'm on the right lane, shouldn't that mean I would go to the right?
