rickgt1 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I have had a alignment every two weeks now for a month and just put on new tires. The alignment was dead center. It still pulls to the left and I don't know what it could be. it's been doing it for a long time. it made my last set of tires wear uneven. I don't want this to happen to my new set of tire. I'm gettin ready to move and I will be driving cross county. If any body has any suggestions please chime in. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has the alignment always been done at the same shop? Might try a different place to get it aligned is all I can figure. If their equipment hasn't been calibrated lately maybe that's the problem. I know on my winter wheels I could tell when a tire was getting low because it would begin to pull slight right. But yours are new. Hmm check the tire pressure, cant hurt. I wish I had a solid answer for you. Maybe someone else can chime in on this one, Let us know what you find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Hmmm, describe the uneven wear.....inner edge, outer edge? Based on your post, sounds like it is time to try a different alignment shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VHO6.0 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 outer edge. I ve been to 2 different shops. can you show us your final readings on your alignment left and right camber,caster,toe etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 outer edge. I ve been to 2 different shops. Is it both front tires or just one? There are a few possibilities, all depends on your answer to this question................ Also, how many miles are on your truck, and how many miles do you put on it per week?

Jetcop20 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 If you've eliminated the tire/alignment................it's brake caliper or hose ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickgt1 Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 it was on both front tires. I have 90,000 and I drive about 200 miles per week, all highway on twisty mountain roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I hate to say it, but I do not think it is an alignment issue....I manage a fleet of 25 Chevrolet vans and I see this all the time. Excessive wear on the outer edge is from a lack of tire rotation, the cure will most likely be to rotate your tires more often. How often do you rotate your tires? Also, taking turns sharp and quick, and going too fast around windy roads will cause this too. Turn your steering wheel in either direction while the truck is parked, you will see the the tire(s) tend to lean on the outer edge........
