Hey Gang,
I got brand new tires, balancing and a 4 wheel alignment done and I'm still having this issue where if I want the steering wheel to be in a neutral position then the car drifts sharply to the right. I constantly have to have the steering wheel slightly turned to the left to get the car to drive straight. (boom03) It's rather annoying because I can't just coast on a straight and level road and not have to constantly be engaged with the steering wheel by holding it a little to the left.
The only thing I can think of is the right passenger side caliper is maybe seized and constantly applying some pressure to the front passenger side rotor. I had two mechanics check it out and I felt like all they gave me was anecdotal opinions without thoroughly checking if the caliper was in fact seizing. Heck, they were giving information that was conflicting each other... so that wasn't really reliable.
Have you all ever had issues like this before?
