I just had a wheel alignment done because my car was pulling. After the alignment, it was still pulling, the guy said it is a radial pull and the only way to fix it is to get a new tire. What do you think about this and can you explain what a radial pull is? Thanks
o.k. at my shop if i do an alignment and i still have a pull its one four our five things. 1. the alignments still off, the toe may be correct but camber or caster may be off. 2. radial pull witch is possible, simple fix swap the two front tires left to right if its radial pull it will pull the oppisite way. 3. a shifted belt in a tire wich should of been noticed before the alignment. 4. a brake problem, when a left or right caliper is hoding pressure causing it to pull one or the other
If you had a wheel alignment done and the tie rods were fine, The other thing that will make a car pull to the right is a bad tire, Radial tires break down. Can you look at the tire and see it looks different than your other tires? The tire may be flat or rounded in spots. A way you can check is move your front tires to the back of car and back tires to front of car, I know doing this you will feel a different pull or no pull at all. u39 /
Possible. That would equate to an unevenly worn tire causing suspension system to not be sitting properly throwing off the drive angles causing a pull to one side. The alignment shop should have never done the alignment with known bad tires on it. Go to another shop and get a second opinion.
