Not a perfefct Alignment
Not a perfefct Alignment
At higher speeds greater than 60mph the car likes to pull to the left...not drastically but its there and annoying...In example I can let go and the car begins to pull towards the left even if countours of the road are going other wise.
Lower speeds its acceptable and dosent noticabley pull. In example I can let go and it begins to drive towards the contours of the road (right).Blah Blah Blah...Recently got Drivers Side Tie Rod+Lower Control Arm+ Elongated Lower Strut Mount (for camber adjustments) and got it aligned. The mechanic drove it and said its good and gave me the alignment chart, but at higher speeds its not perfect.
FYI at the moment (only +50 miles) I have hada FL Directional Tire going in the wrong direction,
would that create this slight pull to the left at higher speeds or could it need more adjustments hence a kunckle?
Ps.My plan is to anaylize the pull when I swap back onto stock wheels/tires. before even mentioning it to the mechanic who performed the work/alignment

Thank YOU guys, I didnt want to go...get this realigned untill I knew if that could be a partial part of the "pull". The tell all will be when I get the stocks on there.
Yeah i can definately scan that spec sheet tonite. Thanks again.
Matt The Tires are catorgized as the same kind but different brands with IMO pretty different treads. Is that a large factor too?

that can be a factor.
if you're running different brands and etc... put identical tires on the same axle- front being the most important since it directly involves the tranny/differential.
mixing brands and sizes on the back isn't as critical.
put if you have 2 and 2, simply match them front/rear and you can still rotate that way. but if you have one oddball tire, make sure you put it on the back.

Update:
Got the stock winter set up on there. They needed balanced but once the 4 where balanced I was good to go. No more pulling at higher speeds and straight as can be at all speeds. Thanks yawl.
just my 1 1/2 cents worth, but that also sounds like it could be "radial pull"? i.e. a random flaw that occurs during manufacturing and keeps the tire from rolling straight & most noticeable at hiway speeds
