Hey guys,

I feel the car pulling too hard to the right..And it feels a little rough at high speeds for some reason?? Almost a tad unstable..?

I put new rear tires on and left the stock pilots in the front, as they are okay. I know that the tire guys did remove one front wheel to check something out...Does this mean I need an alignment or balance?

Thanks!
Mike

 

you sure you dont have a flat or something

 

my car occasionally pulls to the right when braking only. dunno what's up with that, I read once another member was having the same problem as well with stock tires.

 

Um yea, pretty sure its not flat.

 

you might check the inner edges of the tires....I've read on the forum that the outside can look like it has great tread, but the inner could be worn down...if they are not worn, you may have a bad compression rod....I just had mine replaced under warranty....there's a TSB out for it and an "updated" part that the dealer will install....

 

Thanks Mike..I will take her in (This car is such a pain, literally!)

 

Mike..What were the symptoms of the compression rod?

 

also, could be that ur new tires are creating more friction with the road because they are knew... and your front tries are already warned out, so maybe thats why!?!?!?

 

What year is your car? I had a slight pull in an 04 coupe brought to dealer and they fixed under warranty out of alignment. They told me that some 03 models had a recall where the car pulls hard to the right they have to replace one of the control arms

 

its an 04..I am going to take it in

 

drifting/pulling to the right...you may also have a bad wheel bearing or something....check this LINK for a list of TSB's on the 03...not sure if these apply to other year models....

 

thanks guys
