maybe you have crazy tire wear on one tire... so the car puls more on one side... I dunno, I'm not a suspension person.

you probably just need to realign the wheel if the suspension checked out ok.
On the center of the steering wheel pop off the H emblem and remove the 19mm nut. Then you can pull off the wheel and re center it.

check the tire pressure if the car pulls to the right or left.

my car has a similar problem, but im not bothered with it, since it only happens on some freeways....

when im driving it at 70+ on some highways the car starts to pull to left AND right and the ppl behind me think im drunk or something :P but most of the time its fine

a) so ur saying that if ur car is going straight the steering wheel looks crooked?

or are

b) you saying that ur car pulls to one side?

If its

a) your steering wheel was probably not centered. to correct this, take ur car to an empty parking lot and drive straight, irrespective of the steering wheel. then without turning stop the car and remove the steering wheel (no unplugging of wires is needed) and then just put in back straight. It has splines in it for guide.

b) your alignment is still not right. it will show up on the printout and on the screen if the numbers are not right. If they are right then they will not do anything crazy.

a bent frame can cause the car to pull to one side.
low tire pressure, uneven tire wear, different tire sizes, different tires brands can cause this as well, a brake caliper not opening up far enough, worn struts or bushings. hope this helps...

The alignment was not done properly. All the adjustment for toe in was most likely taken on one side. This can cause your steering wheel to be off center after the alingment was done. Take it to a professional to have the alingment done properly. Be sure to tell them about the steering wheel problem.

Shurik. This is what you do. move the carpet near the bottom of the steering wheel and remove the black plastic cover. then u will see the steering column with spines mated to the reciever in the rack. get a 10mm socket or a wrench to it and tighten that bolt. If its loose, it will cause slack in the steering wheel. I had mind like that would make the car wabble in turns cause u have to overcorrect it, it turned out to be that loose bolt. Tightened it and its good now. Also, if the alignment is not right then have them fix it.

Lets say your driver side front is like -0.35 deg and ur right side is a perfect '0', i would say have your right side match the left side. as in, ask them to set the right side to -0.36 camber too. this is only because u dont want the car to pull to one side, or have them over correct it by adjusting the toe and caster. A lot of alignment shops dont know how to do our caster which really stinks.

90% of the people are brain washed in today's world. those "pricks" you refer to weren't born like that, the media, people, and parents had a lot in raising them, and when some1 dont think like you, or act like you, and is raised differently doesn't mean they are a "prick"

if your gonna hate people for their actions, thats fine, but dont judge some1 without knowing, and dont steriotype races man

anyways, since the problem is taken care of, can a mod lock this topic up :D thanx
