have a question about my car, just wanted to hear some ideas. got a gsr sedan, 5 lug conv. just had a recent alignment done front and rear. before, and after the alignment my car had this tendency to drift to the left at high speeds. its way better after the alignment but still noticable. sporadic pulling of the wheel also occured during hard brakes and hard acceleration, usually to the left. if i hold the wheel straight in the neutral position, i wil go straight..so i'm assuming the alignment was done correctly? it just has this tendency to want to pull to the left. also, when turning left, or changing lanes to the left, the wheel does not self correct as well when i ease the grip off the wheel. but it does fine with rights. i thought tire pressure was the problem first. that wasn't it. so then i thought maybe it was the tire itself, so i just now rotated them. still the same results. i have non directional tires. any ideas?

 

How many hands do you hold the steering wheel with?

Which tires are you running and in what size?

What are the alignment settings?

 

brigestone potenza 910s 205/55/15
on the street generally two hands 7 and 5 oclock positions. on the highway usually one hand, my left hand at the 7 oclock position.
0 toe rear
1/8" toe out front

What are your spring rates?

How big are your swaybars?

 

go do another alignment then

 

man, i'm not sure about the spring rate. damn. its roughly a 1.5 drop. stock sway bars. so i believe 22 front 16 rear?

 

why such large tires? 205/55-15 looks like balloon tires on stock wheels.

 

don't remind me. azenis are coming soon.

 

I have 205/55/15 Azenis, they look fine. May be a tire pull. Swap your front tires side for side and see what happens.

 

since when to azenis come in 205/55/15?

 

i never heard of that either
