Car is not going perfectly straight.
My car had a tendency to go to the right (even on a flat road). I checked everything in front, replaced a bad spindle, then alignement.
It is still the same. Is there a possibility that the power steering is not well "centered" or something like that. I am really feeling the problem is at the front, not at the rear.
Thanks

Re: Car is not going perfectly straight.
my car does the same thing, always has. The only part that is not new is my steering box. That will be changed this summer and should fix my problem.

Re: Car is not going perfectly straight.
Depending on the miles you have on the car you should do a complete front end rebuild.

Tie Rods, Center Link, Idler Arm, ball joints, struts, Control Arm Bushings and Gear Box.

If you do most of the work your self it should cost you + or - $750.00. I will promise that your car will drive strait as an arrow.

Re: Car is not going perfectly straight.
My struts are not very old. May be a front end kit would help.

Re: Car is not going perfectly straight.
How old are your brake lines? My car always had a pull, and when I put new pads in, I had a bloody smoke show after a few miles. My brake lines wouldn't let the fluid out of the caliper so one was always grabbing a bit.
