I was just thinking, maybe the hubcentric ring is bad on one of the wheels? I did some research on what those rings do, and their purpose is to ensure that the wheel sits flush with the hub to reduce vibrations. I'll try to borrow a jack from someone and check that out.

 

From my experience just a 2 weeks ago with Tire plus when I got new tires from them, they are complete retards. They had my alignment completely off and my car was pulling bad with brand new tires on it. So I took it back and had them redo it. Also I dont think they have a road match tire balancer in any of their shops which would probably help. There is a shop in WPB that I can send you to and they have one, they have a bunhc of Porsche race cars and the guy knows what he is doing.

 

Sure, that would be great, what/where is it?

I talked to Mike @ USP and he said he would talk to a friend of his who did the suspension for his evo, but it's a drive down to Coral Springs. If I can go to this guy you are talking about, it would be awesome.

 

From 95 North take Okechobee West, take a left on church street and follow it, the road will turn to the left but you want to stay straight then its about 100 yards down on the right, its called Palm Beach Performance, they have a AWD dyno there and alot of porshces and high end cars outside. Ask for Josh he should help you out tell him Ryan w/ the GG MR sent you.

 

I've heard of that place. I think a member on here works there because I went to the West Palm Mitsubishi dealer one time, and I think his name was Josh used to work there and he told me about the place.

Thanks for the heads up!

 

hey mike still going to the usp dyno day tomorrow?

 

Yep.

 

"They say the alignment is fine", who told you this? Unless you have the proper equipment, one can't just look at your rims/suspension and "tell u" that it is right. Spend the $50-100 and get a good alignment done by a notable shop. That should fix the problem. (FYI- also look at the wheels to see where the weights are taped on the rims. Sometimes the weights fall off.)

 

That's just the thing, I didn't know of any notable shops around here, or it would have been my first choice instead of these morons.

The guy who told me it was fine was the "manager" who also insists that it's torque steer also lol.

 

NP, yeah its the same josh from WPB , the guy who owed WPB is a partner at the performance shop down the road, and Josh went with them over there.

 

Sweet. Thanks a lot bro. I hope they can figure out what Tires plus did to my car.

 

Have you had the coils corner balanced? I'm not sure, but that could have some bearing on the pull.

About the balance, most tire shops don't do road force balancing or high-speed balancing because it's expensive. If it's a basic balance, they only spin them up to about 30 mph I think and it's hard to get them perfect.

If they didn't put it on the rack, then they can't know that the alignment is fine.

Torque steer ... lol. I'm finding that too many people work at tire/suspension shops and don't know crap about tires or suspension ...

 

Did you wind up going to WPB Performance?

 

Not yet, I'm gonna head on over there tomorrow after class.

 

Make sure you make an appt with them cause he tends to be busy
