did you install it on a flat ground? it could have shifted a bit if it wasn't

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.

I did install on it flat ground, unless my garage is tilted, Jeff, I think I will see if it still happens when I take off, thanks for the advice guys
