Make sure you have the directional tires going the right way.

I have the before and after specs, the before was way off, the after are dead nuts factory.



the reason I rotated the tires was just to see if it made any type of difference.
Well, I'm stumped, but I do know what I'd do if I were in your shoes. I'd take the car back to the alignment shop, explain the cars behavior, and ask them to fix it.

Does it consistently pull to the left no matter what you do?
Or does it pull to the left only when you give it gas, then pulls back to the right when you let off the gas?
It is at all times, gas, no gas, coasting, up hills down hills.



Yes all 4 new tires.

I even got new ap1 rims to make sure one wasnt bent

you might have a bent control arm.
Im sure if something was bent the alignment shop would have caught this......

did it happen before you got new tires? even tho the tires are new dosnt mean you cant get a bad tire. it could be a radial pull.......


but since you stated that you swapped the wheels side to side than that eliminates that theory.

I hope you get this hammered out and report back! good luck

My car always pulls to the left too! I can't figure it out...

Also, my bike always pulls up on the back wheel. It's very strange.

Any thoughts? Here's a recent pic of me on my bike....




















(sorry, couldn't resist)
