Hey everyone,

I recently had new wheels put on my car and new rear tires (fronts are used) and after my alignment my car was pulling to the right and I have to hold my steering wheel slightly left to go straight. I called the garage that did my alignment and they re-did it, only to find out that it's still exactly the same, pulls right, I have to hold the steering wheel left to keep it straight. Also, when I take right turns my VSA kicks in very easily, I don't even take them hard and it goes on and brakes my car. When I take left turns harder, no VSA. Is this something I should take my car to the dealer about?! I have no idea what to do and have never experienced this before. There also seems to be more resistance when I turn the wheel right than left.

Thanks for any input you all may have!

 

Check tire pressures. Also, what tire sizes did you get? Are the tires mounted correctly? Is the tread facing the correct direction? Post your alignment specs.

 

do the left and right tyres have the same ware not like
left 4mm and right 7mm and check your tyre pressure to

Thanks guys, I will post my alignment specs when I get home tonight. The rear tires are both new, the fronts are both used with equal tread wear. I put the same size tires on the rears as the previous owner but I think they might be a bit too wide at 255/40/17 when recommended is 245/40/17. Not sure if it matters but I have 17x7.5 fronts and 17x8.5 rears BBS RGR's, not sure about exact offsets, but it is s2k fitment.

I also noticed that my VSA is kicking in on left turns too. Almost every time I'm getting off a highway or on a highway interchange and there is a turn/curve (even mild ones) without driving anywhere near an aggressive speed for the turn my stupid VSA starts going nuts. Garrr!
