Midget pulling???

[nomad]

My driver midget [66] has developed a pull to the left. Never noticed when it became so pronounced but it is now quite annoying. Tire pressure is equal so , beyond that, anyone have idea's on where to start looking?

Look for excess "lean" (or "camber") in each front wheel. See if something loose.

Jack each wheel off the ground, one by one and see if any of the brakes are dragging (or, less likely, a bad wheel bearing is dragging)

Check the lower a-arm for cracks.

or ... check for a dragging brake.

Appears that the A arm bushings are bad. They haven't been in there that long but the 3/4 Adco sway bar is causing a bind, I think. Also the road's in this part of the country are ----! I imagine that's the case everywhere.

I've fitted poly to other cars and didn't like the stiffness I ended up with in the suspension so am going back to rubber but think the poly would out last it.

No Kurt, your roads are the worst.
I've driven all of them, yours suck.

If that doesn't fix it....and you're running radials....swap the tyres left to right on the front.
Radials can take a set and pull like crazy.
Been swapping tyres to find pull issues since....1977?

Well, Rick, I was afraid that might be the case! As I tell people....I live in a state with no state income tax and we get what we pay for!!

I also live in a state with no income tax.
It will cost you $30 for a $20 bottle of liquor but there's no income tax.
You can pay the highest gas (pump) tax in the country, but there's no income tax.
You can vote over and over for a $30 annual vehicle registration "fee" but they will still charge you several times that, but at least we don't have a state income tax.
Yeah right. Unless you want to buy something, drive something somewhere or even sit at home and use electricity, phone, internet, water, sewer, garbage services or just about anything else as they have found a way to tax it all.
But we don't have a state income tax.

Rick, you forgot the property tax.

 

[Deleted member 8987]

Unlike states with income tax...and sales tax..and property tax....and license fees...and gas tax...ad infinitum nauseum.
The don't give up one when they go to the other.
