Re: front end pulls (dknitter16)
Under what conditions does it "pull"? Highway? Coming to a stop? Did the "pulling" just start, was it always there, has it become progressively worse? How many total miles on the car?
Do the tires exhibit an unusual wear pattern? Is the tire pressure the same in each tire? Is the tire pressure set to recommended levels (30 psi)?
Stock wheels and tires? Suspension modifications?

Re: front end pulls (mapman)
it pulls mainly on lower speed roads starts when I apply brakes then recovers once I speed up. It will veer right, recover and then it could veer left the next slow down. Sometimes it is ok and is perfect. I have equal 30psi pressure in each tire, and have aftermarket 5 spoke chromes on it. The car was lowered by previous owner slightly. 37000 miles total. Dealer told me it checked out ok underneath,said maybe uneven tire wear but I can't see it. Should I get a second dealer opinion since I have 2mo on warranty? Oh yeah it has original tires, but they look like another 10000 on them at least.

Re: front end pulls (dknitter16)
You might do a search of the archives. Sometimes the"pull" is just the result of our wide tires interacting with the road, caused by the pavement being "dished out" from traffic.
