hey bro could be tire pull i know it sounds like bull, but it's true. I took my car because it was pullin to left to a alignment shop that my grandpa took me to. Guy told me alignments fine it's your tires. I was ok buddy thanks, so being a jackass i went to the place where i go to get alignments, they do great work. well alignment was a little bit off. but nothing major as soon as left i came back and said hey my car still pulls left. the guy was hell no i just fix it. we test drove i was right the he said let change the back tires to front, i think it's your tires. we did and it was the tires.

do you know if your car has had any accidents in the past. that might have messed up the placement of the tire alittle back so it pulls to one side
