I just had my MP3 aligned today. It was pulling hard to the right and now it still pulls. It is not pulling as hard but it is still quite noteiceable. Anyone had problems like this??? Please help.

check tire pressure? was the road straight and level?

were you running with an incorrect alignment for an extended period of time? it could be abnormal tire wear due to a bad/needed alignment.

I just bought the car a week ago. I put new tires and just had it alilgned. It still pulls to the right. I don't know whats going on.

Maybe the wheel is bent? Take a look at them all.

i would take it back to that place and raise hell.

it could also be a defect in your rim so check for damage also.

My front tire started to wear on the outside...I rotated them at 5k and did a alignment at 10k. Now it goes right and I don't feel like doing another alingment. Hope it works out better for you dakar.

Yes..I have the same problem..First do you have 1 way directional tires? If so that can be a problem..Also..If you have a turbo kit..Expect it!

my turbo compact pull straight with 2.2 inch drop, thank you very much

first of all, did you get a spec sheet for the alignment? well, you should.

Here are the specs i typed up a while ago.. i had this problem as well, and i found my dealer set my car to ES specs.. i have since lowered my car and re aligned and it no longer pulls. Previously i had some funky wear and my car pulled. Sometimes it is just the angle of the road, this car seems more prone to pulling then other cars. Probally b/c of the type of tires.

Ahh, that's what it was. I always used to hear about MP3 guys complaining about pulling right after alignment.

My MP3 still pulls after 15k miles T_T

Had the dealer done alignment twice, but still pulls. They told me its the uneven wear of the Dunlops(directional), so hopefully it'll be fixed by the time I switch new tires.
