Truck is pulling hard
Just got alignment done after camber bushings and leveling kit, everything is spot on alignment wise except the truck still pulls to the right. Is this pittman arm issue?

Re: Truck is pulling hard
What do you consider spot on? Most roads crown to the right so when you set alignment you would normally make caster roughly .5 more on one side to compensate. The crazy thing is not all trucks/vehicles are like that. Some drive just fine having even caster. Try that and see what happens.. Sorry u guess i should have stated the obvious first, make sure there are no worn out front suspension or steering components

Re: Truck is pulling hard
Maybe you have a brake dragging?

Re: Truck is pulling hard
You have thrown your wheel or wheels out of alignment. Probably going to have to take it to a shop to have the alignment checked out.

Just had it aligned, test drove it 7 times to make sure it stayed true and it did.

Re: Truck is pulling hard
Please fill out your signature so we know what model truck (F250, F350) you have and could guide you in the right direction.

Re: Truck is pulling hard
If you think the crown of the road is causing the problem, take a test drive on a four lane divided road. Drive a while in the right lane and them move to the left lane and see what you have.
Could be a bad tire(s). Swap both right side rubber with the left side and drive it. If you haven't rotated the tires lately I would swap the fronts to the rear when you cross them. Could be a brake pull too as was said.

Re: Truck is pulling hard
I've tried that. I had each tire on all 4 corners and still pulls. Im stumped on this. Took it back after I had it aligned and alignment is still in spec. This is getting aggravating.

Re: Truck is pulling hard
Well I still can't figure out why my truck pulls. If I am at idle sitting still I can turn my wheel all the way to the left and when I let it go it starts to track back to center, when I turn it all the way to the right and let go of the wheel it stays there, no tracking back. Also when I make a sharpe left turn my tires rub but when I turn all the way to the right they don't???? These two things is what makes me think that I don't have hang ups anywhere and I took it back to alighnment shop and it is still in spec as it was 3mths ago. Any Ideas???????
