Last night my car out of no where started pulling hardcore to the the left for about a mile then it stopped. Then this morning as I was going to school it started pulling to the right (not as bad as last night) I had my buddy look at it he said he couldn't see anything anyone else had any problems like this? Any links or anything I could read to fix it?

 

yeah, i had/have a similar problem on my car, altho not to such a degree

sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes nothing at all

i was thinkin it may have been my tires, cuz when i bought it, it had brand new kumho ecsta's on, any maybe they weren't filled evenly, mounted perfectly, etc, etc..it's nothing that serious for me tho as of rite now

how is it at higher speeds?

 

55+ steering wheel kind of shakes nothing that it hasn't done since I got it though

 

In my Ranger it was about poor road condition (track made by truck) and my wider tire!!

 

This has happened to me before as well. I noticed it only happens when I drive over a particular stretch of road. After a while I noticed the worn out grooves in the road and if I drove with half the tire in the groove and half out, my car would pull to the direction that was in the groove.

Check ou the road that you're driving on when it happens again. Does this happen each time you drive on that particular road?

 

I vote road crown, normal. If it's a blacktopped stretch of road then it's even more likely that it's road crown. The wider your tires, the more suceptible it will be to feedback from road crown. blacktop roads with lots of truck traffic will be the worst.

Also, make sure your tire pressue is where it should be. If you live in the NE, this winter is especially cold. I found all my cars to be 5 PSI under where I like to keep them and had to bump 'em up. That too will worsen the way it reads crown.

 

Yup, what he said...tire pressure if the temps at night are below freezing the tires will loose 5psi or more, and then you get the symptoms you described. Happened to me just a few days ago. I put 32 psi back in the Pilots...alll better.

 

It could be uneven road surface, tire pressure, or wheel alignment.

 

I drive on 13th (from work night) and along 9th (morning) so I am going to get my aliment checked today

 

thanks for the help guys I really appericate it I will let you know what happens

 

maybe the wind was blowing. honestly. the other day i was driving in the wind was really bad. i had to fight to stay in my lane and it kept changing directions

 

No wind....I can usually tell when the wind is blowing it was a constant it wasn't just like pulling hard then it would stop it was all the time for about a mile
