Alignment Question

[SteedaGT9150]

ok so i had to put my buddys wheels on for inspection because my tires were too low. had no problems with that what so ever. so today i put back on my roush wheels, and its pulling to the left noticably. the only thing i did was add air to my tires (all 30 psi) and i got a new tire put on one of the wheels. whats going on? tire size is 265/55/18 all around.

are all the tires the same brand? the same size tire's actual size will vary slightly between manufacturers and may cause a slight pull. that, or it sounds like a caster or camber change happened somehow. other than that...

the rears match and the fronts match. i dunno why it would happen all of a sudden... i didnt change anything.

it is called a radial tire pull. swap the front tires side to side and see if the pull changes directions. it will always pull to the side of the bad tire.

no real way to fix it. sometimes you can flip the tires on the rim and it will go away but it only works about 50% of the time


is the new tire on the LF?

the new tire is on the passanger side rear. the old passanger rear moved to the front. driver side tires stayed the same.
