keep an eye out on tire wear it can help you diagnose if its a alignment problem.

Dude same exact problem here. To the T!

I checked tire pressures and found right rear low. added pressure problem still there...

I bought new rear tires, problem gone. My treawear was 2 inside an 5 outside on one side and less on the other on cheapo Fuzion ZRi's. Street tires. The sway is caused from one rear tire allowing the suspention to sit lower on one side, when you have a limited slip diff the car will push both tires evenly. When the car is lower on one side what do you think will happen?? Try making a model to show yourself. You might check your front tires as well understeer indicates poor front traction. I have an aggresive setup so mine wear fast and any small discepancy is exaggerated.

Dont wanna read Summary

I think problem of understeer and pull are not the same..

Replace rear 70% rear tire: its only $300 at most

Check front tires for treadwear: Low inside tread can cause understeer

:twocents:

New rear tire on order for next week. Front tires have little wear on outsides with 30% tread throughout. I think your right...Thanks for the info.

Here is an update...I had all 4 tires replaced with OEM Bridgestone potenza's in the original sizes. I checked the pressures...all at 32psi. Still have pull!!!

I think that I can rule out tires now...does anybody have any other ideas of what could be doing this?
