ALIGNMENT PROB?? OR BRAKES OR TIRES HELP!!!!!!

My 2003 Gt has been aligned 3 times and I have seen the computer stating
that it is spec but it is still yanking to the right not just slightly but alot
even when I brake the steering wheel wants to go to the right some and when I hit a slight uneven road or a bump it does this. Could it be a brake
to tight or a possibly the tire the tires look like they are wearing even.
I had the camber set correctly after the BBK springs too.
Any ideas will be a great help.!!!

Thanks BRANDON

I've noticed same problem when braking, not always, but from time to time. Also happens when braking on bumpy or rough road. Otherwise no uneven wear on the tires and no pulling when cruising. No suspension work done either. ????? Good luck.

I had that same problem. I tried many things like turning the rotors, changing brake pads, etc. didnt fix it. Finally i took it into the dealership and they checked it out. ended up being a kink in a hose connected to one of my calipers. That took much of the severity out of the veering. it still does it a little but i think that has something to do with it being rear wheel drive and uneven roads. Anyways check out the hoses going to your calipers and make sure there are no kinks in them. That should help. Good luck!

How much do you weigh? Next time you have your car aligned sit in the drivers seat while on the machine, the weight of the driver can throw off the alignment in some cars.

Sounds like bumpsteer...might want to try offset rack bushings or bumpsteer kit.

As stated by other members...bump steer, iron weights in drivers seat when aligning, ALSO: air pressure even in both tires, check for dry rot-Goodyears are VERY prone to wear excessively and unevenly when aged...
