Scotty Kilmer my car slightly pull towards left when i unhold the steering, i rotated the tires from left to right and right to left. It was more towards left pulling so i placed it back to their original places. What to do now??? Moreover when i hold the steering the car moves on straight. Is this toe(alignement) or what? It is slight pulling

Keep up the good work scotty!

Wrong. If alignment solves the problem, then the Honda Odyssey that my mom drives wouldn't be pulling to the right anymore. But guess what, it still is. The only reason is that one tire doesn't spin freely. My dad replaced and aligned the tires of this van. Now that he died, I have to deal with the stress he went through. So the tire pressure, which the valves and pressure have been fixed, despite the tpms light remaining on due the receiver malfunction, which is not worth replacing, the tires itself isn't the problem, but rather the spin should be

I suspect my Silverado Z71's G80 locker in the rear has something to do with my intermittent pull to the right. It only seems to do it on rainy days. When its slippery out it tends to lock and the rear end tends to chatter when making low speed turns which I know is not really an issue. You think my locker my be the culprit?

Yup 😊. There's so many people on the comments who keep saying to do an alignment and I just feel so annoyed when proving them wrong. All the dealer and mechanic wants is your money, that's why they say alignment. My dad replaced and aligned the tires of the odyssey to solve the issue of it pulling to right. And after he died, it still pulls to the right. So the most likely reason is that one of the wheels don't spin freely.

Hey Scotty, first of all, thanks for sharing your experience which is almost thrice as much as my age and for being such a honest and informative person. BTW my dad runs a alignment(both rod and camber), tyre repairing, wheel balancing, and general parts repair/replacement here in Oman and you won't believe the alignment we do here costs 10.39 US Dollar as the computer alignment usually costs 15.58 US Dollar and the customers from there usually come to us cuz the car still pulls to one side, he does it with a measuring rod of some sorts and checks the in/out by seeing the rear tires from the front and we also do camber alignment with cheap equipment. The shop has been running for 35 years and customers are very happy and loyal, and there are 2 people in Oman who still do it the old way, and he hasn't had uneven wear on his cars 5 years old tires. Just wanted to let you know that alignments can be cheap and work very well.
@spudth
@spudth 7 жыл бұрын
He's showing all the things you can check at home for FREE. Sure your caster can be off. (Toe out and camber really don't cause real bad pulling in general) Why pay $89.99 to have a mechanic tell you to get a new tire. Many service shops use the front end alignment as a FISHING tool to get work. Through an alignment repair shops can find need to replace Tires, ball joints, struts, strut bearings, control arm bushings, wheel bearings, rack, steering box, springs etc. If you can eliminate any bad parts before you get the alignment you will save $$$$. Most shops will not do an alignment for free once your car leaves the shop. In other words, if the alignment shows you need a ball joint and you choose to replace it yourself, you will then have to pay again for an alignment. Usually if the shop does the repair, the 2nd alignment is included.

Hello Scotty, I recently bought a 2003 "Acura Rsx Base Model" and everything works fine on the car it has 147xxx Miles in it . Except one day I got on the freeway with my brother and it was raining and I was going the speed limit which was 60 mph and when I switched lanes I made a 360 spin on the freeway and that was a really scary experience for me luckily nothing happened to me and my brother we got out and made it home safe. The next day I told my parents about it and my mom bought new 2 new tires for the front, gave the car and alignment on the front and the back and changed the front left control arm bushing. But it still does the same thing even on the street whenever I hit a little bump or switch lanes, I feel the car pull to the left or right and I would really appreciate it if you could help me out on what else it could be because I'm running out of options. Please. Thank you for your time.

If that RSX is rwd for whatever reason, its cause you hydroplaned without letting go of throttle 😆, that and sway bars, and or bald tires, camber due to messes up struts, etc, if its not the tires, its suspension, could even lead to motor mounts, when you accelerate and it pulls to that side, I advise you pop that hood and look at your motor mounts, if it steers right, check the one on that side cause that will cause you to veer off

Would you wanna move to a new house if your microwave stopped working? HELL NO! Would you want to move to a new house just because your garage isn't opening? HELL NO!!! Same goes for cars.

I DIY alignment on classic cars because I had too many bad experiences at the shop. Some cars require shims and some alignment shops have none. Sometimes they only do toe or do +1 when I gave them -1 on paper. First time is a little time consuming but second time goes pretty quick. Digital angle finder is my friend. DIY allows you to tune out any mild pull by tweeking caster and fine tune steering effort vs tracking on manual steering.

My Civic did this, it was annoying as hell for weeks I took it to several different places and finally heard from one that it was not in need of an expensive alignment but it was radial tire pull and all I needed was a new one. Lucky for me it was still within it's 90 day warranty.

nice quick steering and suspension / wheel tests. You check for play that would rule out loose ball joints or upper controling/lower controlling arm joints or any loose steering/suspension components. You check tire spins freely to see if brakes where catching , you checked tires with doing sort of a tire rotation test which rule out out of round /access wear. But another thing would be pushing down on the car near the suspension to test the springs/struts that is the only other thing i could add for trouble shooting a pull to one side or a rattleing/noise in the suspension or steering systems of a car

Scotty, I spent days worrying I have alingment problems on my car.Saw your vid and tried the switch method. Turns our I needed new tires! Again! Saved 150 $ on alignment. Thanks! A request, can you do an alignment video on like a toyota corolla? You rock man!

Thank you Scotty for the tip about replacing your right or to your left and left to the right now if it's bad put it you left to the back left but I did the right to the left left to the right because my SUV will pull to the right and my car was wore out in the front both of us trying to find out my left arm is bad I moved it to the back for the time being so thank you

Scotty makes the best tutorials in shortest clips, yet most entertaining way. Q: here, When my steering wheel is at straight center, the car moves to the right side, to compensate, I pull the steering wheel to the left in order to rein the car moving straight. I've checked cures you suggested but it not effective enough. Will tweaking my tie rods possibly fix it by moving the driver side tie rod more inwardly and the passenger side more outwardly. Does this make sense?

This video... Rocks. My 02 CRV has been pulling to the right even after I replaced camber bolts on that side, and got a professional alignment. The problem started after I installed a new right wheel hub last month. Ever since, I haven't been able to drive straight, even with the alignment. Could a new stiff wheel hub cause my car to pull to the right?
