Alignment issues??
Hi everyone,
Here's the situation: I hit a pot hole and it damaged my tire to the point that it's not repairable. So I got a brand new one put on. There's a difference in the tread depth of 3-4mm compared to the older tires. Also, the new tire is mounted on the rear driver's side. The problem I'm having is that the car seems to pulls a bit to the right when driving at a constant speed. When I accelerate a bit harder, the car pulls to the left and then when I lift off the gas, it pulls back to the right very noticeably. I checked the pressure on all 4 tires and they're all at 35psi. Anyone know what's causing this? Could it just be my alignment is messed up from hitting that pot hole? Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |
possibly. Swap your rear and front wheels first to see if that changes anything.

that's what i'm planning on doing when i have a day off.

Been there done that. Eventually the new tire will wear down to match the old one on the other side but it will take sometime.

Thanks Krayzie... it's good to know that it does eventually go away.
Haven't had time to rotate it to the front yet, but i'll probably do it tomorrow. It's pretty scary when your doing highway speeds and you lift off the gas pedal and the car pulls to the right. :/ |
