My S2000 is pulling to the right. Hardcore.
When I got up this morning I noticed that on the backright pannel there were some yellow marks by my tires. Whether or not that means anything, I do not know so anyways:
I was driving along as usual and I realized that the car was veering to the right a considerable amount. If I were to let go of the wheel, I could change lanes (assuming of course I wanted to change to the right).
My first thought was of course, "Blast, I have to take it in for alignment" No biggie, but then when I started shifting, the car would wabble to the left and then the right. Same thing happened when I had my passenger shift while I had both hands on the wheel.
This happened several times and now I'm worried. Any ideas? I hope it just needs alignment but the wabbling makes me worry a bit more. Thanks for your help.
edit to add: Its not a flat tire, the tires are brand new.

Huh. If your tire pressures are okay, are you sure that the left and right rear tires are the same size? Nah - you would have noticed that on the drive home from getting new tires.
No offense, but did you actually use a tire pressure gauge? Or did you just visually inspect them?

Mine has a similar problem- I belive it is bump steer in my case.
I will be aligning again this mont h for the 100th time this year (Oregon has terrible pot holes and construction everywhere) and am going to buy a more accurate tire pressure guage tonight based on suggestions above. I think the badly abused guages at the gas station and the cheap onbe I got for free in the waiting room at the tire shop here are inaccurate.
Good luck with the wabble!
