Wheel Balance ??
Never had this happen before. Alignment was last done about 4k ago. Car seemed to want to track to the right even though the machine said it was set up as it should be. (took it back to have them check)
Had all 4 tires balanced again last Thurs. before a 500 mile trip this weekend. As soon as I got away from the shop I noticed the car wanted to pull left. I watched as they did this balance since I wanted to make sure the wheels were put back using a 4 way and tightened in the proper "star" pattern. I have never had a car change the way it tracked down the road before just from a balance. Any ideas, thoughts, comments from anyone? Shop did do a dynamic balance, weights on both inner and outer lips of the rim. I will add that the tires were not rotated and I am sure they were put back where they came from as I was watching. Also jacked it up today when I got home and there is no drag from a sticking brake. Can't figure it out. |

I had an intermittant sticking brake that drove me nuts causing an intermittant pull to the right until the alignment shop caught it when it went back in to be checked. Maybe jack up the frontend and have a helper pump the brakes multiple times while you spin the wheels to see if it will drag for you?? RT
