my 96 does pull to the right too, and like everyone else i was told its normal. Both of my parents cars do it too. if your pulls to the left it is not normal...wither alignment, tire pressure, or uneven tire wear on that side...check it out

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.

if anything it should pull right. Get your alignment at Ford.

Mine pulls right that's because i have lots more castor on the left wheel. If you guys want your car to straight have your castor set higher on the passenger side. Roads being slanted is a true statement though just fyi...

Yes, most roads are "crowned" to ensure rain water drains off.

If this is the cause, try seeing if the car still pulls to the right when passing. When you pass, you switch to the other side of the road, and that will have the "crown" slopping in the opposite direction. So, when passing, does the car still pull to the right?

Of course, only try this when it is truly safe to pass.

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

Unless you're in the fast lane like a true stanger should be.

today driving i paid more attention to it on the highway. i do drive mostly on the left...so it pulls left there. i got in the right lane and it was pulling to the right. i figure it's mostly the road.

i will have them check out the alignment when i get my oil changed next...castor camber plates are on the future mod list.

when you brake hard, your abs notices your wheel is about to lock so it release on that side for a split second, thats why you get a bit of weaving when breaking hard.
