My car pulls MAD to the RIGHT !! HELP !!

y would my car pull to the RIGHT when I let go my steering wheel? IT pulls a lot even when I'm going like 15 MPH !!... I did rotate my tires front to back n back to front... I didn't do an alignment but it only pulled a bit...I drove it for about 2 weeks like that....I then noticed that one of my tires acutually all didn't have enough air...so I then added to all 4 tires...like 2 days ago ...N now my car pulls a lot more to the right... is it just a simply fix like an alignment or something else...

also how often I'm I suppose to do an alignment on my car? everytime I take of a wheel , rotate tires, or what... please HELP GUYS... thankx

If an alignment didn't fix it....Check your brakes if it's dragging too much.

R/F caliper might be locking up.

rotate your tires back, and put equal air pressure in them....IF the car pulls LESS, then you have a seperated radial belt inside the tire (got to replace it). If the car pulls to the right the SAME amount after the rotation back, then it is an alignment issue.

I've had this issue with other cars turned out 100% tire problem. replace all 4 tires, make sure they are all properly inflated to begin with. if any tires have different traction from different pressure they will wear differently. the radial can get screwed from under/over inflation and it can cause a hard pull.

It looks like you have an 06 in your profile. Dont you still have warranty? Why not just take it to the dealer and have them figure it out?

I had the same problem once but a pull to the left, went to many alignment shops, one of they does race car setup, and it didnt help.

bought new tires - didnt help
had the dealer change the front barke calipers - didnt help
changed front rotors - didnt help
had the dealer put the car on a frame machine to ensure everthing is good - didnt help

Had Robert Fuller align the car now it is perfect!!!!!!!

Give Robi a call and see when he will be in your area.

Go to a alignment shop/person who has experience aligning EVO's.

Some of the major name tire shops can't align a Evo worth a sh*t!
