So does it pull all the time or just over bumps? Like mentioned, it's probably just the 275's up front which tend to follow the road.

it really only pulls when im hitting the contours of the road, like no roads around here are 100% flat they all got some kinda crown to them or small dimples and stuff so it does it then, when the road is perfectly flat it doesnt really happen. . . i just wonder if an alignment can get my suspension geometry back into spec so i dont have to get a bumpsteer kit lol. like i asked, they can realign a 1.25 drop without c/c plates right? maybe just some camber bolts?

you could try and swap the tires from side to side to see if you got a bad one off the shelf.

theyre used tires and used rims. theyre also directional so i could only move them from front to back. . . . its gotta be my alignment though

jury is still out on if an alignment will bring a lightly lowered car back into spec. . . .

and also, since its lowered, are they gunna base their work off of the stock specs they have in their database or can the alignment guys actually account for the fact that its lowered

the alignment machine makes you adjust to factory caster, camber and toe specs.

so that will fix the problem theoretically, correct?
