So last week I installed a BDS 4.5" kit and put on 35's... After my first alignment I felt a pull to the right so I brought it back in. They aligned it and over compensated I guess and it then pulled to the left. Today was my 3rd alignment and I'm still pulling the left and my steering wheel isn't centered when driving in a straight line... The shop says that my procal show my steering wheel dead center and the alignment computer does as well...

Anybody have a solution?

The shop owner said he can try to swap the front tires but I was frustrated and has things to do so I left and figured I would have the dealerships do it since it'll be in the shop for an oil change next week....

They also lowered my pressure to 26 which of course eleviated a lot of the bounce, but not the pull to the left....

 

Do you have adjustable track bars and control arms?

 

Adjustable uppers, lowers, fronts, and rears but used the track bar relocation bracket that came with the kit rather than upgrading to an adjustable bar....

Bad choice?

 

Make sure the front control arms are the same length I.E both bottoms the same both tops the same. Then make sure the axle is centered not too far left or right. Easiest to measure with tire off from frame to outer edge of axle.
Then if all of that is right worry about swapping tires and other things but a left or right pull could very easily be from the above not being correct.

 

whats the caster set at?? Does it have a pitman arm?


You really need a drop track bar bracket, adjustable track bar and a pitman arm at that height.

 

its usually better the be able to tweek things as much as posible... did you actually recenter your steering? or just going off the procal?

 

X2 once you get rid of the pull make sure you visually center your steering wheel... Very easy adjustment but you need to get rid of the pull first.

 

It's not uncommon for a tire to causing the pulling. If your camber and caster are within spec and it still pulls, I would put my money on a bad tire. If you can determine it is, I would contact the tire manufacturer and see if they will replace it[them]. But do remember there might be a slight pull from any crown in the road. Say if you are in the fast lane on the interstate, you might get a slight pull to the left.

 

True except that it first pulled right then left after they adjusted it. Hard to do on a solid axle without adjusting the control arms since he didn't swap the tires yet

 

I have it all except for the adjustable track bar but I'll check all of the adjustments to make. Sure they're all even
Thanks
