Alignment

Having problems with my front steering(92 Camaro), i have had 3 alignments in the past 6 months and the car is still pulling hard to the right. No one can seem to tell me why. Any ideas?

if all is good with your front end parts , you have ckd. everything have you not ? i would have the uni-body ckd. by a frame/body shop . it may be the car was in a wreck and body twisted/bent in some way . good luck .

Under normal driving conditions or under braking?

Re: Alignment

even roads or uneven roads? and what are the alignment specs on your car (every good alignment shop should print out the specs for you on a paper, this will help us analyze problems.)

Re: Alignment

If all the parts and alignment are good I'd suspect the tires. Swap the fronts and see if it pulls the other way.

Re: Alignment

Could be a radial pull. something like a mild slipped belt in the tire. Normally if it pulls right, it's in the right front tire, but not always. Try rotating the right side first and see if the pulling goes away. If not, then rotate the left side.
