Anyone else with a 99-04 that pulls to the right?

[propellerhead]

My 04 GT has a slight pull to the right. I have brought it into the dealer twice and they did an alignment. But there is still a slight pull to the right. If I let go of the steering wheel while cruising on the freeway, I'll be out of my lane and into the next lane in about 5-10 seconds. They tell me it's the curvature of the road but I find that hard to believe. The pull is so consistent.

Anyone else?

yes mine pulls to the left. was your car ever in an accident, frame machine, or salvage yard? if so there is your answer. Mine only does it when i am braking sometimes

 

[Ryan02Stang]

I've got it. No accidents or anything. Most people with 99+ mustangs have this problem that I know.

 

[stang976]

that sucks.... your both riding on stock suspension too im guessing?

I'm on fox body springs now...but used to do it also when stock.

I have it and my car is an 04 bought brand new

 

[VOORHEES]

No I do not. Of course some road conditions will cause it some times. Otherwise, mine tracks pretty straight.

Mine pulls to the right during braking when tire pressure gets low. It use to do it all the time and it turned out that the wheels weren't put on correctly or something. Something about the directional arrows not being correct?

i have been told that they put in a slight about on toe on the alignment from the factory to pull to the right just slightly. the reason being is so that it's less likely that you would go into the other lane if you were to wreck. don't take this as gospel truth, it's mearly what i was told

makes sense to me but i still think its a silly move if it is true.

may be silly, but it's all in the name of being more safe

 

[ChrisWorrell]

it is supposed to slightly pull to the right, all cars should. It is so that if you fall asleep or dont pay attention you end up in a tree not in a minivan with 4 kids on there way back from a soccer game

2001 GT 40k miles and mine pulls to the right, i was told curvature of the road too but got an alignment and balance just to be safe. Now, it's less obvious but it still does it and sometimes it does it hard when i brake. Oh well.

 

[propellerhead]

That sucks. My 03 Expedition did it too, but my spousal unit's 00 BMW 323ci doesn't.

This is true , they are supposed to do that but not too bad , if its more than you feel is right . take it to someone else to align it ....

My '03 doesn't do it.

Just this morning i was doing 90MPH on the Mass Pike (don't yell at me, that's how fast traffic flows) with no hands on the wheel and the car goes perfectly straight.


EDIT: And my T-3650 works perfectly! (for now )

Mine does not pull when traveling down the highway. It used to pull during breaking, but that proved to be a faulty wheel speed sensor.

 

[Stangsgrl]

My 04 GT pulls to the left while on the highway. Somtimes i wonder if it's just the highway i drive to work everyday....It doesn't do it while breaking though.

 

[mity2]

yeah mine does too when I step on my brake..

This is correct.
