Car pulls after FSTB install

I installed an FSTB and my steering wheel & car pulls toward the drivers side...any ideas on what the problem could be??? maybe just need an alignment???

Probably alignment.

OR it could be
1. Dented rim? -unlikely
2. Tires could have a some tread seperation.- highly unlikely
3. Your car has been wrecked before and the frame is now tighter and more solid because of the strut bar, thus it directs the car towrad one direction. -This actually happened on my previous 97.
4. Your imagination -most likely not -but the bar does react to steering inputs much better, and the car does display a much crisper turn in.
5. My friend and I are running out of outrageous theoretical diagnoses.

Go get the alignment checked ASAP. Enjoy. And get yourself the Rear sway bar. It really makes your car corner flatter and tighter just in everyday driving.
Have fun

Re: Car pulls after FSTB install

:spock voice: Logic would dictate that you remove the offending FSTB and drive the vehicle again to see if the problem persists. If the problem ceases, perhaps your installation was flawed.
