Why does my car pull to the left

When I bought my used x from the dealership I had them do two alignments on it cause it kept pulling to the left. It's not terrible but it does pull. Here is my specs

What do I need to change or replace to fix this issue

Did you try rotating the tires? The alignment look fine except I would have them zero out the tow front and rear.


The left front having less negative camber MIGHT cause a pull, but it's not likely.

i would say your front camber is causing the pull. the side with more camber pushes your car towards the side with less. try to either bring the passenger front wheel out for less camber or bring in the driver side for more camber. make sure your tires all have equal tire pressure. if some of your tires are worn and some are new it will cause a pull also.

edit: possible for a unlevel alignment rack, bad alignment heads, binding brake, bad wheel bearings can show good alignment but rock around when you drive, maybe lower control arm bushings or ball joint.
all assuming no wrecks ect.

Thanks it hasn't been in a wreck...it's a 13 with 32k on it and never seen winter. I would assume it's something minor I hope it is just pulling cause of the bad tread on the left front tire. Very worn on the inside not seeing any metal yet but the wear is noticeable. But I doubt that's the case. I was looking into the h&r camber bolts cause I hear they allow for greater adjustments when it comes to having negative camber like I do. I will double check tire pressure and from what I saw the ball joints and bushings where like new

Back when I had a 1994 Miata R with a Torsen rear diff, if the tire pressure was off a little on the drive wheels to would pull to one side big-time under power.

Tighten those numbers up, the front camber can be tightened up, and the rear toe brought closer to zero.

Are there any upgrades that I can make to my suspension to help with adjustments? I'm lowered on eibach pro's

sure there are some bits for the rear to add more camber, also coilovers for the front allow for more camber as well. What type of adjustments are wanting? The care already has some capability to be adjusted as is.

I just it to drive straight for dd. Not concerned about tracking it or anything like that just so I have even tread wear.

Can u be more specific of things I could get. I've been looking at the whiteline front roll center adjust. Kit.
