right pull count

[Archive]

I would like to know how many trucks have the pull to the right! My hand-dandy Dodge dealer said "that my truck is the only one"?

Please stand up and be counted. I need information to give them!

ps. the spec's I want them to align to "they cannot do it".

Mine pulls also,not alot just enough to annoy me,its supposed to be within specs also. Its out of the basic warranty now so I'll be taking it to a good alignment shop soon. Don't trust any of the dealers around here to do it right.

May seem like a dumb answer but does it pull more in the right hand lane of a highway than the left? A lot of roads (especially CO) have a considerable grade crown for rain run off to the right.

Geeeeee. . There is one he11 of alot of "your truck is the only one that has ever done that" out there. The 5star retarts at the local Chico, Calif dealer has blamed everything from my bug deflector to the sprayed on bed liner. Mine has been back so many times I couldnt begin to tell you. The problem has finally been so so cured by Les Schwab Tires. hey do all the brake and alignment on my Corvette so I figured, what the he11. No cost I might add. What they did, I couldnt tell you but its a totally differnt truck. Ill bet if you pull your front right tire you will find a spacer. Thats right, a spacer. Thats one of the Dodge boys quick fixes from the FACTORY! All my buddies have them on their trucks. Dodge knows there is a problem and they refuse to admit it, tho... . the new trucks have 4 wheel disc brakes. Gee, that seems to have fixed most of the problems. Mine was so bad that the service manager didnt beleive me so he took it out for a test drive and came back 10 min later white as a sheet! Turns out he almost flipped the truck when he did a panic stop and ended up off the side of the freeway and then over corrected. A total dumb a$$. The guys in the servive dept wished that he would have flipped because it would have gotten rid of the servive manager and MY TRUCK. Dont get me wrong, I love my truck, but... . it took many moons before I could say that. I think it was shortly after Chrysler refused to buy it back and I took it upon myself to have a REAL SHOP look at it! I just wish I could get the full price of the 7/100,000 warranty back. Shooda, coulda, woulda! Im now into the "my driveway waranty station". None of the want-to-be menhanics will ever touch my truck ever again.

Are we talking pulling to the right while braking? or all the time?

Mine goes straight as can be while driving, but hit the brakes and it pulls to the RS. To correct the problem, I will do a couple panic stops, and its better for a week or so.

The other week I changed a couple brake pads and the problem went away. (for now)

(NOTE: My truck wears the RF Inner pad faster then the others, so I have 2 sets, and keep changing the pads around until I get one set that is worn the same on all pads, then return them for the Performance Friction Carbon Matalic life time warrantee)

TowPro,

Mine pulls to the right as soon as you let go of the wheel. When stopping it is straight.

Guess they put my truck together backwards, because it pulls to the left. Been in for an alignment 2 times and no fix yet.

I have found that if I have a pull, and the alignment is correct, try to rotate the front tires left to right, and the pull will go away.

Mine pulls right just enough that I have to keep pressure on the steering wheel. I don't notice any pull while braking.

Constant right pull. Right pull under braking when you really don't need it. My brake pull does not happen all the time.

I had a 98 1/2 that pulled to the right. It was "fixed" 7 times. The problem would go away for a while then come back. It would start gradually and then get worse as time went on. I went to arbitration and that is why I now have a 2000 with the new front breaks.
