Default Alignment or what

hey the lude has been pulling to the left for a while now. its real bad when i brake the car jus pulls to the left. what can be the problem with this? i went to NTB and they said they couldnt do anything about it and didnt know what was wrong with ti but i think they were BS because i had the 1 year alignment program. can anyone tell me why its pulling to the left so much?

it only pulls to the left when braking? did NTB check the alignment? if your toe or caster is out it will pull.

If it's a program alignment, they should have done is simply because you said to, and given you a printout. If it only does it when braking, you need to check your brakes. Either you have a sticking caliper or slider, or something's greased up your pads . If it's while driving, worse when braking, could be a bad tire

i'd check out ur strut rod bushings, mabye the caster is moving around too much during braking, due to bad bushings.
