ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    car pulls to the left

    Like the title says. Not enough to be dangerous, just enough to be annoying.

    The obvious answer is "get an alignment". But the thing is, I just got one last week (after replacing the right axle, the tie rod outers, and the sway bar links). It was pulling to the left before all that work, still doing it after. So it must be something independent of the alignment. What else can it be?

    It IS possible that the alignment was done incorrectly. My car has pulled to the left consistently since I last had an alignment (and I had it done with the installation of 4 brand new tires.)

    It could also be worn tires, especially if you drove with a bad alignment for any period of time. Try rotating your tires and see if it changes anything.

    Additionally, it could be worn suspension components. A blown shock on one side could cause tracking issues (I have a blown passenger side shock... maybe that's the reason for my left pull...)

      Like I said, it was the same before and after the alignment, so I doubt that's the problem. And I've had good experiences with this shop, so I trust them not to fuck it up.

      The front shocks are still pretty new, so I don't think that's it either, but I'll check them out.

      I'm leaning towards the worn tire theory.

        Check your radius rod bushings

        If they go bad it will cause your car to pull regardless of a good alignment. They control the forward/backwards movement of the knuckle. If they go bad the knuckle can move around within the wheel well causing your car to pull

        Besides that i would take it back and have them redo the alignment. I had my accord aligned once and it was done wrong. I took it back and they redid it and it drove fine after that.
