    Greetings all. My 2010 access cab pulls to the right at all speeds. I've have tires balanced/rotated and alignment checked and aligned. Still pulls right on all roads. Anyone else have this issue?

    The same shit everyone else has.
    Are all the suspension components in good shape or is stuff worn out?

    It's only got 30k miles. All systems seem to be go. Brakes were just inspected, but I'll recheck. Running stock size streets tires. I thought about new rims and 17s , but $$$

    Mine started pulling left all the time. Then the wheel bearings started making a noise.
    Left was the worst. Replaced bearings and it seemed to correct the pulling.

    My tires have always wore slightly faster on the inside edge. I’ve had multiple shops align it.
    And all say it was in spec. I’m not really too worried, as I have almost 70k on the current tires.
    So the difference in wear is not too concerning to me yet.

    OP, post the alignment sheet. A readable pic is best. There may be something obvious.
    There are only a few reasons why pulling would occur. The first thing to do is swap the tires L-R on the front and see if the pulling changes.

    What’s your cross caster?

    Thanks, folks. I've done all of the above suggestions. I don't know what cross caster is.

    Cross caster is the difference between the caster number on the driver's side and passenger side. It is often used to account for road crown and if it's incorrect, it could be causing the pulling to one side

    As mentioned, because of the road crown, vehicles want to drift to the RH. If it still pulls when you're spanning the center line, then you probably have an alignment issue. A good alignment shop can somewhat correct for the drift due to road crown by tweaking the caster settings as mentioned above.

    Thanks all. I'm convinced it's a tire issue. Going back to Discount to see if they'll do a swap for me.
