Got a question........
I just done some front end rebuilding with new shocks, ball joints, bushings, and tie rod ends.
I re-aligned my front by eye just so I can move it around until i get it professionally aligned. Also I haven't bled the front calipers yet.
Could these things cause my car to drive to the right directly and cause a grinding noise in the front?. I can feel it in the steering wheel as well. Nothing looks to be wrong under the car.
Has anyone done this? I need some advice!
Thanks,
Justin

new stuff could cause allingment out and a pull to the right, but not sure on the grind. you mention bleeding the caliper, have u been having brake problems? Maybe you have a bad pad that is sticking, causing the grinding, and the braking causing the right pull??

I guess I need to bleed my brakes and get it aligned

if it is pulling to the right hard and grinding could be a brake grabbing. Don't know if bleeding will fix that. I would also check all the suspension parts you put on, make sure nothing is loose and that everything is in properly.

I would think that the brake pads are dragging on the rotor because there isn't enough brake return pressure to pull the piston/pads back off the rotor.
The pulling is quite simply the result of an uncalibrated eyeball alignment. Bleed the brakes first and see if the noise goes away. Make sure you read the brake sticky so you don't make it worse.
Good luck.
