98 wishes it was in NASCAR

....inasmuch that it wants to make a left turn anytime you take your hands off the wheel.

Driver's side axle is cashed, but that'll be replaced soon.

Anywho, had an alignment done a couple of days ago, and the toe was waaaaaay outta whack. They straightened it out, but It's still pulling very hard left. What should I be lookin for to replace besides the axle? It's gettin almost scary to drive.....

Bad tire?

Will a bad tire cause that much havoc?

Switch them around see what happens. Most places will look at front end parts before even attempting to align, if somethings wrong or worn usually theyd have you replace before alignment can be done. Maybe a sticking caliper? Does it pull even outta gear coasting?

x2 on the swapping tires.

I actually had an alignment on an old car, just because a tire was wearing poorly, but it went strait. After the alignment the guy couldn't get the car to go strait down the road, until he swapped tires around...Radial pull sucks and it can ruin wheel bearings too!

Swap tires left to right (fronts) and see what happens. Radial pull is a ****.

I rotated the tire in question to the back and, to no one here's surprise, all is well in the steering dept aside from a slightly floppy ball joint which'll be replaced soon when i rip it apart for the axle.

Looks like It's time for a new tire....
