truck pulls to the right, even after alignment

[el_flores]

Mine was the cause of sticky brake calipers. Didn't know at the time, but after I fixed it while replacing the rotors and pads, it stopped doing it.

Well, I replaced my tire today and WOW! It was so much worse than I thought. I can't believe the tire didn't come apart on the highway!

Luckily for me, the new tire solved all of my problems. It drives like a dream now. No pull at all what so ever. Drives straight. Stops straight. Love it!

I would still like to know more about the keys idea though. If anybody finds out for sure. Please post up.

thats good

food for thought. thanks for the directions about tire idea. glad it solved your problem.
mine only pulls while driving, not during braking, like with a dragging rotor.

Mine didn't pull while braking either, but if yours is pulling only while driving, have you considered the hub/bearing assembly? That was causing mine to pull to the right a while back. It wouldn't make any sound. It would just pull to the right.

actually i got to thinking about that last night. i started to pick up a slight vibration, more like a pulse, comes and goes. thats what made start to think of the wheel hub bearing. i'll just replace both sides at the same time. I had one lock up on a on a vw i had years ago at 40mph, scary as hell. did about 20 donuts before i stopped. lol

These guys are right, once you have worn a tire it will still jerk to in the direction it wore even after alignment, try switching the around.

could also be the road and the natural crown in it

yeah. shop said that the road will pull one side or the other due to road crown, since tires are so wide (315's) thanks guys looking into getting bearings on both bearings on both sides done when new tires replaced.
