Pulling to the right

LiqTenExp · 11-11-2023, 09:53 AM

Have an issues with the car pulling to the right. Spent hours working with a great shop in Clifton and we ran out of time. Front suspension is completely stock. Rear is all BMR non-adjustable except for the toe rods (Adjustable BMR). It is minor but usually the car is perfect usually so its on my fix it list.

Something is causing the wheel to turn slightly right, when you hold the wheel straight the car goes straight. Camber, caster, toe, etc you name it is spot on. Had it on and off the rack many times and it stays repeats

Had the car in the air and nothing was loose/sloppy when you grabbed a wheel. Checked brakes, there isn't one dragging. Swapped front tires, didn't change a thing.

I'm left with rear tires (Nitto 555R2) swapping/replacement (they are low). This issue didn't just happen so maybe low rears has an impact?

Any other thoughts?

The only reason I've ever had the wheel pulled away from center was tires. How about swapping the rears left to right and checking if the pull inverts? Easiest way to identify or rule out the rear tires.

Yeah, that was my plan next. I actually need new rears so it might be the plan for next year.

That is exactly what I would do. It sounds like one of his tires has radial separation and truthfully, it wouldn't surprise me if it did. Nitto has somewhat of a history of not being the best with the QA/QC of their new tires.

Then again that's what happens with mass production so I can't say it's on them entirely.

Road force balancing might find a tire problem.

Could also be the roads you are testing on... I'm sure you thought of that though

Yes, we obviously didn't test it on anything with a crown.

I've got 345/30R19 Nitto 555RII on there now with 305/30R19 PS4S on the front. PS4S don't come in 345 but 355/30R19, OMG are they expensive! ($719 each)
