If you're the only owner and it's never been wrecked, this probably isn't the case, but if you're not. One of the most annoying problems is the steering. I didnt give it any critical thought whatsover, and have been plagued with problems since the day i have had it. Lastly, there is the possibility that some prior collision work wasn't done correctly, and your frame is slightly tweaked. I bought my car in December 2006 and it was one of the biggest mistakes in my life. The car must be in neutral, otherwise engine/drivetrain will have an effect on the front wheels. If your alignment is true, your car should roll straight. Once you have, drive at around 40mph, then put the car in neutral, and let it roll, with your thumbs just barely on the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock spokes. If the car pulls left or stays straight, your alignment is probably OK, and your car is just following the road crown.įind a perfectly level road. So, here's a simple test to perform:ĭrive in the left lane of a freeway that has a ditch in the median. Also, as illustrated above, roads are crowned to allow water runoff. Uneven tire pressure will also cause a pull make sure all 4 tires have the exact same air pressure.Īs others have mentioned, tire/wheel imbalance will not cause the car to pull. Try at your own risk I take no responsibility if you screw something up. I had a pull to the right like everyone else I did the above and my car drives straight at 80mph. If you follow the above specs you will cause a pull to the left and since your car was already pulling to the right guess what your cars going to drive straight!!
The side with the most positive camber will always cause a pull to that side. Braking hard will cause one of the tires to skid and squeal because itll lock. However, when the problem comes from one of the rear brake assemblies, you may not notice a pull unless you brake hard. If you have a severe pull you can add more negative camber to your front passenger wheel intill your car drives straight. Usually, when the problem comes from one of the front brake assemblies, youll feel a strong pull on the steering wheel when applying the brakes.
CAR PULLS TO THE RIGHT INSTALL
Install them and have your alignment shop set the front driver side to 0 degrees of camber and your front passenger wheel to around -0.5 these specs are within honda specifications and will not cause uneven tire wear. I know having two different life tyres on both sides is bad but its only temp until the new one comes Monday.Guys if you don't want your cars to pull to the right theirs a very easy fix for around 30 bucks.īuy these camber bolts: CorSport: Honda - 2006-2011 Honda Civic Si - 81260 I cant see anything bent on the car or anything so I dont know what is causing it considering the new tyre is on the left where the rock hit. However the car is now drastically pulling to the right. Well I changed all 4 disks and my pads front and back, changed the both sides rear wheel bearings, and the car is still pulling hard to the. I had the tyre put on and had the car tracked. Im frustrated, my wifes Golf is pulling to the right quite a bit, I took it in for an alignment, they said the alignment was good and that it was my brakes. The other side is quite worn but a new one of the same brand/model will be here Monday.
I had a spare brand new tyre that I have put on the car which is exactly the same as the other side just newer obviously. Safe to say I got a puncture and had to get rescued by the RAC due to no spare wheel. I came around a blind left hand turn over a crest on a mountain road and there was a rock right in my path that I didnt see until last minute. Had a little moment last weekend with the car.
