| Post subject: | Jeep is pulling to the left |
As the subject says my Jeep is pulling to the left and i'm not sure why. Ive checked all tyre pressures are correct. Alignment has been checked and is correct Don't think the brakes are dragging could it be a suspension bushing on the rear that is worn more on one side than the other because of the torque? no other weird noises or whines or clunks. She is running 100% besides this issue. Not a drastic thing, just need to hold the steering wheel gently to keep it in a straight line.

Your Jeep knows all the good pubs are on the left side of the road? |

As long as there is no issues with the suspension(including bushings front or rear) or brakes dragging. There has to be something going on with the tires(poor wear pattern devolped from lack of propper rotation,belts slipping or slung) and or alignment. Steering wheels are not just off slightly or a pull, even slightly either way, is not normal. It is a direct indication there is a poor alignment or some thing is up with the tires. If ya can't do the work yourself then take it to another shop that has a good reputation and get a second opinion.
