alignment problem

I went to two different shops to get my alignment done. Both shops got the alignment straight but my car still veer's to the left. If I would put the steering wheel in the center the car would move towards the left. What could be the problem? they told me to bring it to the dealership, but i want to know what im getting myself into b4 hand.

thanks in advance.

i got same problem. My shop told me two different things. 1. Any suspension sag can create a pull.. 2. Noticed both compression rod bushings were shot...ESPECIALLY the left one. Im thinking this could make the front end loose..and it feels alil loose. I havent had the time to verify which could be causing this.

According to your alignment specs everything's good, no pull should be there. I'd make sure to check your tire pressure, and if you just got new tires, I'd take it back to the place you got the tires, it could be what's called a radial pull.

When you say center the steering wheel and it veers left, do you mean the steering wheel is not centered when going straight, or when you let go of the steering wheel (carefully) it pulls. There is a difference, if it goes straight and the steering wheel is just off then it is just that the toe adjustments are off a little. If it goes straight and starts to drift/pull when you let go of the steering wheel then you might have a tire pull. Cross rotate the front tires to see if it pulls the other direction, that will tell you whether it is a tire problem or not. Most likely it is that, unless they are directional tires then you cant cross rotate, and also check your ride height, compare the both sides to make sure they are close to even and not leaning to one side.
