carr still pulls to the left....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!

[gboogie99]

okay a few months ago my olds started pulling to the left. So I:

1. got an alignment
2. replaced both front calipers and pads and bled system
3. replaced transmission mount and got an alignment
4. replaced tires, then got new wheels & tires got an alignment
5. pulled and checked rear drums...nothing unusual, just dirty
6. replaced driver side wheel cylinder and bled system

what the hell is left?
i thought it might be a ball joint or tie rod, even a strut mount...
somebody help!

Well I was going to say tires right away. But you have replaced them.

Did you get all 4 wheels aligned? You may have a bad thrust angle problem on the back if it was ever worked on. It uses a twist beam on the back right?

Make sure your tire psi are the same. Swap the left and right front tires.

well, i got performance tires and they only rotate one way...
I think all i got left now is strut mounts. I plan on replacing a cv axle soon because now that is making noise

[Rhedalert]

are the springs at the same ride height when compared to the opposite one on the same axle? Meaning say your left front spring sags more than your right front.

thats a good question because i did start noticing a lean on one side of the car recently. I was gonna replace the springs when i pulled the struts anyway, so that might do the trick.

hopefully. My left front sits a slight bit lower than the right front, and I have a pull to the left. It's actually quite annoying, and the only thing that bothers me about this car. I had an alignment done and it didn't help, and the struts and tires are new. I'm going to use a spring helper on the LF just to see if that corrects it.
