Tahoe pulling right even after new in/out tie rods, new tires, and alignment

[AN292]

Still pulling to the right just like the day I bought it without those things I just replaced.

Any ideas?

New equipment is maybe 2-3 months old and it doesn't pull anymore than usual under braking either

My carfax says it has been in an accident before but I dont know the details on that, something bent down there?

Got the spec sheet from the alignment?

Nah I tossed it, everything was in the green though. I saw the before and it was a significant improvement but no different in the pull

Just because it’s “green” doesn’t mean it’s right.

Old cars have stuck brakes. Mine pulled. I went to a race car shop to get an alignment done as good as can be done. Still pulled.

They said check the brakes. The rear passenger was stuck clamping down. Rebuilt the calipers. No pull other than what my oversized tires cause.

Find a new shop. If you took it in with a complaint of steering pull and they returned it the same way they’re incompetent.

Or its something else making it pull. They are a good shop

Does it pull rolling 5-10mph across a parking lot? Or does it not really start until +25mph

At speed only

Have you discussed the pull with the shop?

have you ruled out a tire pull by swapping left to right on the front?

 

[VR4Play]

I would start with doing as George said and swap the front tires left to right. Sometimes it will fix it sometimes it will go the other way. If it has torsion bars on the front you may have to have them checked to make sure they are even. Corner weights can affect pulling one way or the other.

At speed only

Then they need to increase cross caster until it drives nice

tire and brake issues will be felt starting from very low speeds

Being in the green is close enough for most shops. Unless you know what specs you want it set for you get what you get. I've know my alignment guy for many years and we always talk about what I want. He is a firm believer that being in the green is not good enough. Your vehicle is simply following the crown of the road.

Check the tire pressures as well


do you hear any squeaking from a Wheel Bearing?

My suggestion about swapping the front wheels was an attempt to eliminate or identify a tire pull. If it still pulls then it needs a tweak to the alignment.

As stated above check your brakes for a stuck caliper. It’ll be the one on the opposite side of the pull. You’ll notice how much thinner the pads are.
