HELPP!!!!!Truck pulling left when breaking/loose steering

I just got my Camburgs installed and new wheels. I got the alignment done and these are my numbers. When I drive my truck pulls left when I let go of the steering/ breaking. Not just a nice left pull but a strong one. the steering wheel will move left about 1/4 of the circumference when I break. What should I do to fix this another alignment?

Front Left:
Camber: 0.2
Caster: 1.1
Toe: 0.01
SAI: 11.4
Included Angle:11.6

Front Right:
Camber: 0.8
Caster: 3.4
Toe: 0.03
SAI: 12.1
Included Angle:12.9

Rear Left:
Camber: -0.3
Toe: -0.12

Rear Right:
Camber : 0.0
Toe:0.28

 

Anyone?

 

sounds like a caliper could be stuck.. Number of things that could cause that.. brake line pinched ect from the work being done

 

Well, if your truck wasn't doing any of those things prior to having it aligned you should probably take it back. It does look like your caster is out on your front right.

 

I got my Rotor done, I been hearing it grind on the heat shield when turning. Could this be problem for the left pull? I had my stock doing the same as well when I had my rotors done. How do I fix this?

 

check your wheel bearings and looking at your specs, that alignment is not good. it should pull left with that big of a lead in right caster. your camber should be around 0 +or- .25

 

the caster is to low on the front left...especially when compared to the right.

 

take those stupid things off haha

 

Your alignment is off, take it back or go to another wheel alignment place..

 

What would be a good alignment for a 2.5 Lift and 265 70 r17? I been searching, but having trouble finding specs.

 

2.5+ caster 0 camber and like 0 toe

 

high caster is good but sometimes it can cause a shimmy.

 

Shitty alignment. Take it back and get your money back. Then go to a real alignment shop.

Brake is the term you are looking for Not Break.

 

Lol I Knew that, I'm in English 1C... I didn't proof read ha!

 

Caster should be 2.0 or more ideally 2.5-2.8. If you cant get them that high, atleast get them within .2 of each other.

Camber must be 0.0-0.5 and even on both sides.

Toe should be 0.0-0.5 and even on both sides.

major variances between each side will cause a pull even if the alignment is "within spec" Just because your numbers are all in the green doesn't mean it will drive straight by any means. Find an alignment tech who know how to work on lifted trucks otherwise itll never drive straight.

If your steering wheel is that far off, the tech may not have had it straight during alignment. Also, double check your calipers are not sticking and that your rotors are installed correctly. Your dust shield should NOT be rubbing If it is, you have a problem. if you cant fix it, remove them! You dont need them. But the fact that they only rub during turns leads me to believe either: a) you have a bigger problem in there, or B) your dust shield is not what you hearing rub. Its more than likely your tires rubbing.

 

To add to my previous post... if it pulls left when your driving and simply let off the steering wheel but still accelerating, then its alignment or sticky caliper. If it pulls left only when braking, then its most likely your rotors and/or brake pads.

 

Sorry, it is one of my many peeves!

Good info ProForce!

 

Its when I let go of my steering wheel. i got stainless steel brake lines, I'm not sure if this affects it or not?

 

So your driving down the street, take your hands off the wheel and it pulls left, WITHOUT touching your brakes at all?

If thats the case, then your problem is with the alignment. And with the numbers you posted, I can almost guarantee thats your only problem. If, after fixing the alignment and achieving the number I posted, or as close to it as possible, it still pulls, then check the brake system including rotors, pads, shields, lines, etc. As long as you bleed the system after installing the new lines then that wont make any difference.

Of the alignment numbers I posted Camber and Toe MUST be within the numbers I posted (0.0-0.5) on both sides and as even as possible. A light difference between sides of .2 or less wont make a huge difference. Your Caster adjustments may be harder to achieve. I could only get to 1.3 and 1.5 on mine. But as long as they are close to the same on each side an as high as you can get them then your good.

Also note that just because your tires never used to rub doesn't mean they never will. Every single time I get my alignment redone, my tires rub in a new spot. The wheels are moved foreword/backwards during alignment and if the numbers are changed drastically from before, its not uncommon for your tires to rub in places they never used to. happened to me several times. Double check that your noise during turns is just rubbing

 

Fixed, wheel work made me pay an extra $70 on top of 60 to do a modified alignment. Fucking bull shit, but its good now. Thanks for the input gents!
