Hi all, seeking alignment advice. Car pulls to the left when driving. Has never done this before, was fine in the morning, parked for about 3 hours, was doing it when I started it up and drove away.

First a disclaimer - I'm mechanically inept. And now for a shot in the dark... Could one of your left brakes be binding up slightly when cold? Have you noticed unusual amounts of brake dust on one wh

try changing the air pressure in the tires (up and/or down) and see if it changes. things like this are *usually* tires, in my limited experience. -james c OSP - Ouch, Spine Pounding

This car changed _dramatically_ while sitting parked for 3 hours. The problem happens every time I drive the car and it's cold, no matter what roads I'm on. Almost goes away after a few miles of driv

Try swapping the left side tires and right side tires side to side. If if the vehicle starts pulling/drifting to the right, you have a tire problem. If the pull/drift is still going to the left, look

Going on the brake dragging theory, have you pulled over while it still happens and touched the wheels (all the way around) to see if one is hotter than the rest? I've had old cars where the flexible

All your symptoms sound like tire pressure. According to Tire Rack you can expect your tires to change in pressure by 1psi for every 10 degrees of internal temperature change. Then it wouldn't happen

Checked pressure when cold, and then when warm. Same all around in both cases. If it's a tire problem, it must be somewhere inside the tire, invisible to inspection and not related to pressures. All

Turns out the right front shock came apart into two separate pieces when they jacked up the car. They screwed rod back into the shock and reassembled it, then completed the alignment. The car drives
