slight pull to the right(while driving)

[andruxa]

Here is what happens:

Driving slow (15-25 mph) is normal, gradually when I start going faster (up to 35mph) slight pull starts happening, and I need to force steering wheel to the left in order to keep the truck straight. Going 70 mph - if you let the steerign wheel go, truck would run off the road over couple hundred feet.

Alignment printout is within range, tire pressure is 32 all four, tires wear down equally (even all the way around)...

What coyld that be? Weight distribution is normal (mostly only me in the truck)...

Did you do a four wheel alignment or just the fronts?

How do the brakes check out? If one is catching that can cause a pull.

mine does the same thing, ive done alignments (all 4) checked brakes, tires, replaced just about all the front end bushings and it just keeps pulling. I lower my air pressure a couple pounds in the left front and that helps some, I just rotate my tires often to keep them from wearing bad. not much of a solution but I dunno what to tell you hopefully soemone can help.

Try rotating the tires.

The brakes were changed last fall (about 10K miles), I will be doing rebalancing and chassi lube soon, rotate tires at the same time (while at the shop).

Will report results here...

Check your ball joints. From what I have heard the stock ball joints are pathetic. Just a thought.

This might sound stupid but maybe it's the way the road is made. Left lanes usually slopes to the left, therefore pulls your truck to the left and vise versa with the right lane. They're design that way for rain drainage.

mine does the exact same thing.... not too worried about it.... in fact since all of these trucks which our family has owned in the past 2 years do it i always chalked it up to the road...
