no, when i let steering wheel go it pulls to the left i think, cant remember if its right or left, but the steering wheel, if i center the steering wheel its slightly turning right

 

2007 k.w 900 45000 m. started pulling to the right,took it in for an alignment and they found front r.r. almost an inch out back diff .5in. out. I tried to get warranty out of k.w but they say 90 days or 25000 miles. I'm out $400 and steer tires wearing funny now. From now on when i buy a truck the first stop will be the alignment shop, could save money down the road

 

What bob h is trying to ask is if you "let go" of the steering wheel, does it go right to the middle, yet the whole truck moves to the left or the right? If so, you need a 3 axle alignment.

I don't think I've ever heard of a pulling situation where it was the front axle. It's always the rear axles.

BTW, I have almost 250,000 miles on my 24.5 lo pro XZA3's. They both get the shoulder wear, but both are mostly on the outside and very even. I never swap them, there's no point, they wear exactly the same. I find 105 PSI really helps with funny tire wear, rivering they call it. Bad alignments cause "cupping" which is much more severe.

exactly, and "to the right" intended. BUT, swap the steer tires (wheel and all) side to side first, if this swap affects the steering, i.e- pulls in the opposite direction... or even eliminates the pull, then the tires are the cause. i prefer swapping them back afterwards

keep in mind that the alignment could also be a contributor to the pull issue, or... could even have damaged the tire that now is causing the pull

I don't think I've ever heard of a pulling situation where it was the front axle.

an i-beam must be twisted to cause caster pull. incorrect assembly of axle/suspension components can cause caster pull as well... not very common problems though

however, radial tire pull on the steer axle is very common on any road vehicle with 4 or more tires

It's always the rear axles.

as far as "ALIGNMENT pull", the drives are almost always the cause of pull... and it usually is pull towards the ditch side of the road (negative thrust angle)

cupping may be a sign of a shock absorber failure. also loose bearings, steering linkage, etc commonly cause cupping
