My Jeep pulls to the right and is aligned! What gives?
OK so I even noticed that my right front tire was showing a tad signs of outer wear when the left front shows NOTHING and these are new tires. Thinking HMM maybe the alignment went out again after I bought these tires so I took it back for its rotation and had them check it all out again for me. I was there with them and my jeep is DEAD ON, rotated the tires and even checked it for me again, DEAD ON. They check everything up front and all seemed fine, (joints and and all) As a drive it home,, a slight right hand pull is STILL there, I dont know whats causing it. Could my left rear shock be going bad and cause it to do this or what all should I check or have checked. These are new tires, well had them for 6 months, rotate them as stated above and I still have the same trouble and it was going on with the old tires as well. Im losted and getting a bit annoyed. I even blamed it on the roads but drove another one and it did not pull like mine. ITs not a hard pull. but MAN its enough to drive me INSANE! and as I see, wear my right front tire a bit

dragging brake ,
un equal tire pressure, tweaked unibody are the three i can think of off the top of my head . maybe whoever aligned it didn't get it all equaled out ? i had alot of problems with 4wd vehicles when i was doing alignments if i didnt really try to get it spot on . |

Mine pulls to the right too. I'm more annoyed with the steering wheel not being centered while driving straight than the pull itself... mild OCD i guess.
I got it aligned a couple days ago and nothing changed. tires, shocks, etc. all check out, no accidents in the past to tweak anything. I've have noticed the brakes are a little soft, and when I hit the brakes it pulls harder to the right. Also, there is more dust on the right front wheel than on the rest. Next on the list is new rotors, new pads, new fluid. We'll see if that helps.

Be prepared for warped rotors uneven pad wear and dragging calipers. <---- more than likely the cause. if so and u dont do the caliper upgrade from Kolak. Grease the slide pins with High heat Brake grease and flush ur brake fluid.

My jeep was never in a wreck but, I will have the brakes checked, I has a squeeking sound on the right front untill puch the brake VERY little so it may be dragging brakes. i HOPE!! EVERYTHING you all said you have experienced, Mine does it, have to hold the wheel a bit to the left to keep it straight and OMG its annoying! but of course not worth getting rid of as people have told me,, im like HECK NO!!! Im a Jeep and Im 23years old!!!1(pc spoof)

My Jeep pulls to the right a bit too but it is because the passenger side axle tube is bent upward slightly.

Is there any noise coming from the wheel bearing while driving? Drag link, anything wore can cause your vehicle to "pull".
