Pulling to the passanger side

Ive recently purchased an 89 formula firebird, the car drives quite well other then when the passanger side wheel contacts anything in the road it instantly wants to pull hard to the right...


any ideas on what it could be and where 2 start?

Take it to a wheel alignment shop and have them check it out to see if anything is damaged or worn out.

It could be something as simple as bad tires. My truck always wanted to pull to the right even after having an alignment. I finally replaced the front tires and it goes straight down the road now.

The front tires or going to be replaced and i will have an alignment done after that point, its not terrible, just if im relaxing and it yanks hard it surprises me sometimes.

If it yanks hard it's got a problem that probably should be checked asap. Do yourself a favor and just give it a quick check to make sure everything looks tight, no bent parts and has cotter pins where they should be, before you drive it again.
