Car pulling left
Car is pulling left therefore had to correct steering to right to keep car straight. Took it back to Bridgestone for alignment and front passenger wheel was showing negative camber compared to front drivers side wheel....all other wheels were adjusted within normal ranges. Also noticed the passenger top suspension mount starting to crack at the edges as in this 50c heat rubber hardens quickly. (I had replaced driver side suspension mount 1 yr ago). My question is that is the left pulling just down to the negative camber, or the suspension mount, or both or something else. If, in theory, i dont change the mount but simply move camber to a more positive value, should this fix the issue? Grateful for your help. Last edited by imi7; 08-28-2014 at 08:45 PM. |

Really need some help on this issue now as pulling my hair out over this. Since my last post, I replaced both front guide mounts and also had passenger wheel adjusted to full positive camber - BUT alignment still out as it reads (-0.42) - drivers wheel is within range at -0.02......I am unable to adjust the passenger wheel camber to positive anymore.
My wishbone ball joint rubbers are showing signs of wear/tear, but as there is no play on the joints both my indy and the alignment center said these are not causing the negative camber. This negative camber on the passenger wheel is causing my car to pull left when the steering wheel is straight. Is there any else I should be looking at? Please help - I want to keep my hair .

How many miles on the car? That issue could also be because of other worn suspension parts.
In high heat rubber actually softens.. I can tell you my car feels alot tighter at 15 F than 100 F

Car has 160000 km on the ODO.
What other suspension parts could have worn out due to the excessive heat here? |
