Default help my car pulling right/left...

My car is pulling right and sometimes left when I'm driving. Went to get an alignment and it still pulls right/left they told me it could be my subframe because it look a little bent? can this be the problem? thanks.

Could very much be. Has the car been hit or in any kind of accident?

are you lowered and got wheels on it by any chance? cause if you do , thats how cars with those mods feel. they follow the ruts and grooves and angles of the road.

In the accident depending on how bad it was, it might of been enough to tweak the frame a little. Have you ever got it inspected?

try swapping the tires from right to left if they arent directional.....this would allow you to tell if the problem is alignment or tire problem..alot of time a tire come from the facotry wedge shaped rather than flat so it pulls to that side....just had to do one the other day at my job "america's tire co."....so if you eliminate the tire from bieng the cuase than you know for sure that it is either the frame or alignment

No because it wasn't serious.

big rims and tires make that happen. doubt your frame has anything to do with it.

I have 16" rota subzero. I'll def check on the tires. My car doesn't have PS because it was removed do that have anything to do with the car pulling left/right?
