So I have noticed a quick pull on my new to me 2001 coupe. It doesn't feel like it is just pulling one way or the other like an alignment, it is quick sparatic pulls. I lifted up the front and and checked the lug nuts and the wheel bearings today and the felt fine. Any experience or ideas?

I would think if you can not find anything wrong on the car, alignment is about all that is left. Maybe someone will jump in and offer something else, but here is a ttt for you.

I'm guessing that you're noticing the tendancy to bumpsteer with the stock runflats.

I don't have stock runflats, but I do have pilot sport run flats. Please explain this "bumpsteer" to me.
