could be anything... does this happen on all roads? cos it could be just tramlining..

or your car could have been in a massive accident and is banana shaped...

 

have you tried searching on this? there are tons of posts with such topics

are you serious?

 

yep i have adn no help

 

post your alignement readings

some times there is tire pull... try crossing the front tires and if that doesnt work, cross all 4.... (unless of course you have rotational tires)

but yah post your alignment settings... maybe they only adjusted the toe... ive heard some ******* shops mess with numbers for people who cant understand the readings so they come back for more alignments...

could be a tugging caliper or irregular tire size.... was your car previously lowered or is it lowered? ... sagging or blown springs can cause your problem as well... ride height may be out of spec as well...

but yah post your alignement readings and let the community have a looky

 

ok ill post them when i get home and hopfully i can find out whats the problem

 

most people overlook the most basic reasons to why their car pulls, is the pressure in all four tires equal?

 

yep all are on 36 psi

 

did the alignment shop check camber, caster, and toe?

 

we'll they say they did.
ill post up my alignment results in about an hour and a half..

 

ok here we go guys i really need some help here i went to my alignment place near my work and they did the whole alignement over and over infront of me the caster the toe everything and my car for a weird reson when letting go of the steering wheel just hooks to the left yes hooks to the left hte steering wheel turns to the left and the car turns to the left.. we tried changing over the front tyres...
everything htey cheecked my steering boots everything and only thing they told me to do is to get my chassy check.

this all happened when i got my new engine/new springs/left toe put in .

SOME one or anyone got any idea's what could make the steering turn left and make the car full drift to the left

THANKs
sorry for the journal im freaking here

 

stop being redundant... post your readings so we can see... what kinda springs? assuming the car is lowered? by how much?

 

the reading are perfect got other places to check it ive done wheel alignment at 6 different places. im just asking what can make the steering wheel turn to the left adn make the car drift to an angle

so is it only drifting to the left or is it going both ways??? not all roads are perfectly flat due to their angles for water drainage.... simply just driving on a road thats uneven can cause your car to drift either way...

 

i know that and you would think it would drift a little but whats happening to my car isnt normal... the car just hooks to the left . the steering wheel turns about 10 degrees to the left and the car just drifts to the left like changing lanes...
now on some roads it goes to the right but it doent hook it and straight away it goes back to the left as it doing..

 

check your arms for bends or cracks? have you ever hit a curb before or anything in such a manner? jack the car and look at the springs that were put in...

 

nah never.... they checked everything the arm the steering ..
i was reading through article would air in the system do it.
going ot try to bleed the power steering but not sure how you got a wright up

 

.

 

a small possibility would be that the front left brake is slightly binding...

 

hhmmmm good thinking mate cuz my left break was sqeaking the other dayt not like normal.. and this happened when i changed the fluid as well hmmm...
would bleeding the break stop the binding of the break if thats happening

 

ok an update about my stupid issue...
ive been calling all over different steering specialest and most hae been saying it might be the tyres.....
now what do you think guy would the tyres be doing my prob

 

ok well ive tried everything and running out of idea and one thing thats puzzled me is this when driving forward my car steering turns to the left and car goes to the left buit when im revercing my car steering goes to the right and car goes to the right
what would that be from
