Weird suspension issue - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #59758 7 posts Started by mikecelica
I just got my lowering springs installed and got an allignment, which didnt fix a pulling issue I've noticed. When your driving, the car wants to pull to the left always, not really badly but enough that you can feel. And if you let the steering wheel go the car will turn left on its own instead of going straight. Anyone had this issue on their car.... whats wrong? thanks for nay help
they did a crappy job??? or its prolly that bar thing i forgot the name im tired....

I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island
If your rear tires not aligned as well, they will pull and affect the front steering.

Maybe your tires are just messed up from driving without an alignment before.

A strut bar? Isnt that supposed to stiffen the suspension even more and make it pull even less.

What do you mean aligned tires? Balanced? Three of the tires (2 front and rear driver side) are same company (General) size 205/70-14 84W... but the passenger side rear tire is Nexen 205/70-14 84W XL ... The General tires are directional... I thought as long as the one tire with isnt the same brand as the rest is in the rear it shouldnt make a difference?
Did they do a 4 wheel laser alignment? The tracking/alignment on the rear is adjustable too.
Your tyres are maybe worn unevenly due to poor wheel alignment causing uneven tread wear prior to having it checked/adjusted.
Different makes of tyres should not affect anything. Except maybe when cornering hard.

Maybe worth checking for binding brakes or seized/stiff sliding pins in the calipers.

^ all four wheel alignment is what I am talking about. If you're wheels are not balanced or it is not even threading then thats another issue.
