The answer is, if the car pulls to the left or right.

Just bought a 09 Odyssey 2 weeks ago. 600miles.

The car pulls to the left after about 10 sec at 60mph. I tired it on several different road conditions.

Is this "normal"? Could it be the wind? But it's always left. If this was a 7 year old car, I may consider it "normal."

Just want know what you guys think and what you do to determine if the alignment is ok on your car.

 

Are the tire pressures good? Any brake dragging? My 05 Odyssey drives arrow straight on the highway.

 

If anything given the shape of the road you should only pull left if you're in the left lane. If you just bought it take it back, and get an alignment.

 

Most likely out of alignment, however could be a lateral issue with the tires as well. Slightly different diameter, etc. It's under warranty, take her in and let us know.

 

When I bought my brand new accord, it had the same problem. I brought it back to honda and they said a number that is allowed for alignment. I guess they allow the car to pull left or right by a certain amount, which is considered normal. I knew it wasn't normal and continue to let them check it out. They fixed it.

Common Odyssey problem

Posting for future search.

Appointment tomorrow.

 

very interesting procedure to correct. thanks for that... other than that how do you like your Odd?

 

If you are referring to the "bumping" feel in the wheel at times, it is the rack, not the alignment. Mine does it occasionally.

I can't see the .pdf right now.

 

Love it. EX-L RES. All the features of the minivan - DVD, power doors, and the opening the sliding door windows. It's all about the features. It dirves a bit stiff (compare to other minivans) but I like it that way FTW.

What I didn't expect:
- Yes, it's got leather. It's nice. Nothing is wrong. But I'm not a big fan as I though I would be at first.

- I love the sound of the V6. It's muffled, I can just imagine it opening up. There will be no exhaust mods on the Odyssey. This makes me want to get a (08+) V6 Accord.

 

It's not bumping. It's a "slide" to the left, like someone is falling asleep.

 

Bait and switch! You have dragged us from GDD to /80.

 

Got to do my job as a mod and make sure threads are in the right section.

 

put me back under my rock!


when i clicked on it in gdd it had already been moved.
