    My STi is pulling to the left. I did 2 alignment at two different Firestone and 2 wheel balancing and rotation within a month and it is still pulling to the left. Anyone got a clue as to what is happening?

    tire pressure? Tire wear?
    is it doing it on only certain roads or every where?

    You havent hit anything recently, have you? Or did you drill any pot-holes, speed bumps, etc?

    What tires do you have? If they are directional or inside/outside type tires and they are incorrectly installed (very possible if the wheels were balanced) then that could give you a pull.

    Might also be an over-compensation for road crown.

    If its pulling, odds are your alignment is still off or your tire pressures are unbalanced.

    Are you in the Marietta area? If so I could check that out for you.

    Thanks all for the reply and the suggestions. I have my tires rotated, balanced, and check at Discount tires. They have always been pretty good at checking everything. I did the balance and rotated first and was still pulling. I then took it to Firestone in Gwinnett to do the first alignment, it was still pulling afterward. A couple of days later, i took it to Abernathy Firestone and told him about the pull still, he did the alightment and it is still pulling to the left. I will get more specs and info tomorrow in terms of tire pressures and the alignment number.

    Mckenzietj, I am not in the Marietta area, but I could be, as this is really bothering. Please let me know where you are and I'll come see you. Thanks a lot all for the help.

    How bad is the pull? Is it gradual or sudden? Any rattling or bump steer?

    Second that, Tell Kieran that you would like Jeff to take alook at your alignment. Jeff has been doing alignment for over 20 years.
