dugster Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 mine pulls both ways sometimes, i think mine is the road and crown. 22" sport low profile, just one of those things to get used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRMN8TR Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 It's the contact patch from those wide tires, I had a cobra that was all over the road especially on these shitty roads here in Ohio. My 14 sport does it, my 12 SEL did not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topparked Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 a car is suppose to pull a little to right for safety. if a driver ever were to fall asleep at the wheel the car would pull to the right so it would not go into oncoming traffic. a true alignment always pulls to the right 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbwt Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 It is natural for the right side pull since the shaft on the left is shorter it has less torque steer and more power thus pushes to the right. Very common FWD issue. I may add that you could try changing the LCA's out if you have been driving it hard the rubber bushings may be worn and allowing the pull to be more pronounced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcali6301 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) I had an issue like that about a year ago, as soon as I bought the car, I noticed the right strut was busted, I made the dealer replace both of them. Every-time I pressed the gas, the steering wheel would slight jerk to the right. Dealer tried to tell me it was torque steer, another dealer had the car for 2 months, replaced axles, power steering pump, steering rack, they called in a field service engineer, and even checked with the PLANT that built the car, they pretty much gave the car back and told me nothing they can do..Finally I took it to an alignment shop where they found that the right lower control arm bushing was so work out, the rubber was peeling off and hanging under the car..I had him put it in writing and took it back to the dealer, they replaced the right lower control arm and that FINALLY fixed the issue all under warranty thank goodness...Whoever had the car before me must had hit a huge pothole before trading it in...Sorry to say but the Ford techs in this case, showed some incompetence with this issue, the fix was right under their noses the whole time. They were overthinking the problem. You can see my thread on this forum. I do not believe the subframe tweaking response at all..unless the car has been in an accident and bent the frame, that is not the problem. Take the car to a suspension/alignment specialist, someone who's been doing it for years and that's all they do.
