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

A strut bar? Isnt that supposed to stiffen the suspension even more and make it pull even less. QUOTE (trdproven @ Jun 28, 2008 - 11:00 AM) If your rear tires not aligned as well, they will pull and affect the front steering. 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?

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.

If you're wheels are not balanced or it is not even threading then thats another issue. -------------------- 94 Celica GT \|Toyota OEM Japan\|Toyota Racing Development\|Tom's\|Competition Clutch\|5Zigen\|Apexi\| \|Laille/Beatrush\|Magnecor\|Denso\|Royal Purple\|Optima\|PIAA\|PW JDM\|Megan Racing\|Nitto\| \|Work\|Greddy\|Samco\|Project Mu\|H&R\|Gates\|Moog\|Rota\|Yokohama\|Epman\|1320\|Upgr8 04 Celica GT \|Toyota OEM Japan\|Toyota Racing Development\|Tein\|BC Racing\|Greddy\| ~~89 Supra (Sold)~~ ~~90 Supra (Sold)~~
