Truck pulls to the right

It is aligned and tires have correct pressure. I have 885s on bilstien shocks with normal size tires. I can't figure anything that could be causing it...

 

sell it. definitely broken...











jk, lol anything done to the rear? maybe axle shifted , or something upfront could be tweaked?

 

Haha. I'm not sure the wife would buy that reasoning. I don't think anything is tweaked. Not really sure how to check that either.

 

when was last alignment. post up spec sheet. maybe somethings still off a little?

 

Have you tried rotating the tires to see if it may be a tire creating the pull?

My alignment is good, and my tire pressures are good, however, for some reason with one particular tire on my right front, it pulls to the right. After rotating, pull gone. Whenever that tire gets rotated back to the right front, pulls slight right again.

Strangest thing with that one tire as I have never had it before that one tire causes my truck/past vehicles to pull ever before. Maybe it's in the tread pattern/bad tire. IDK, but I don't bother with it anymore after having the alignment inspected again awhile back and I don't have it pull but maybe once a year between rotations.

Also, as I am sure you already know, most roads are crowned to help with water runoff. For instance, when driving in the right lane of the highway, depending on surface conditions (heavy truck grooves), you will likely pull right. Move to left lane and you will likely pull left. As well, caster angles extreme one way or the other will effect wondering of the truck on the road.

 

Honest reply..

"It is already aligned"

Does not apply unless you just drove it off the machine and everything shows in spec and it is still pulling...

Go toss it on the machine and get a print out and check it.. after that mess with rotating tires ect if presser and everything else is all equal

 

This. Also you didn't specify when braking? when cruising? highway or side streets? slow or fast?

 

X2.

I was just thinking that, could be the brakes...

Just "spit balling" some possible causes here -->

Maybe a warped brake rotor? A stuck caliper? Uneven wear on brake pads? These can cause a constant pull to one side even when not applying the brakes BTW.

Also, uneven tire pressure can cause a pull. Or even tires with significantly different tread thickness from one side to the other.

 

road grade.

try driving on the wrong side of the road "safely" and see what side it pulls to

 

It's not impacted by braking or lack thereof. I had a stuck caliper on the other side maybe 6-8 months ago but I could hear it squealing. Handy really thought about that. I don't think it's the grading of the road bcc it seems to be a pretty constant right pull.

When I had it aligned due to this (which was not to long after a previous alignment with the new tires) it didn't drive any different after. The guy at the shop said it could be suspension related but couldn't really give specifics. I may try swapping the front left and right tire this weekend to see if that affects it then trouble shoot from there.

 

Welp don't waste your time swapping tires.

The issue is the people doing your alignment are total morons. Take it somewhere else quick before your tires are shot to crap.

listen to this guy....
