Car pulls to left

My 09 Ralliart always seems to pull ever so slightly to the left even though I've had several 4 wheel alignments done and have also rotated the tires regularly(although I only have about 18,000 miles). Anyone else had an issue with the Ralliart pulling a little to the left(or right) even after being aligned?

Mine pulls to the left as well but is lowered quite a bit. Even with camber kit in back and camber adjustments for coilovers in front, it is the most aligned it will ever be. I have free alignments at multiple shops and get the same answer all all.

If you're lowered, most likely it'll never be PERFECT. It's never even perfect from the factory. I had the dealership realign my car after only 2500 miles.

Also you need to be aware of the road you're driving on and how the crown of it is. Most roads have a high point of the center line and slightly dip towards the sides. Of course this would cause your car to pull right anyways...so I got nothing for ya really man.

Where do get your car aligned at? Maybe their equipment is not calibrated correctly. Try going to a Firestone and get the "life time alignment" done their and also it pays for its self if you get it.

I had it done at a Toyota dealership and I'm NOT lowered at all, but your advice has me interested! I never heard about that deal from Firestone, so I'll definitely have to check it out and get more details, so thanks for the info!

Yeah just ask about it it only cost like $200 but heck with an alignment costing like $80 it pays for its self in no time. I know I've used it about 4 time in the past year lol

Always ask for a print out of the alignment report. Sometimes they don't adjust the alignment back to the centre if it is within range.

BTW, my alignment was out from the factory and was experiencing uneven tyre wear after 2000km!! Car was going straight before but sometimes pull slightly to the left (RHD) after the alignment. Oh well, never mind.

I have the same issue for the past year no one was able to fix it at the dealership. I think they adjusted and swapped the tires that maybe got worn out a bit so it even out the pull but after the rotation it's back to pulling to the left....

I am lowered on sportlines and it has done it ever since i can remember. I've done alignments at several places and its the same thing. Its not too bad during normal driving, it pulls a little hard to the left while accelerating hard though. Its just something you get used to i guess?
