So i got my 2004 GT back in May with 11000 miles on it. Since ive bought it there has been a pull to the right. I finally just got an alignment and he told me the front tire was out of alignment. They replaced the front left camber bolt, because apparantly the stock ones arent adjustable. So anyways now it feels like there is a slight pull to the left. It is not as extreme as the pull to the right was though. Also the steering for some reason seems to be looser, not sure if it is just me imagining it though.

Also on a side note the car seems to pull at every single bump in the road. Is this all tibs or do i need to get something checked out?

slight pull to the right is normal for the tib mine did it since i've owned it and if i'm correct so did alot of nt.members cars .depends on were you live (road conditions)i have to get aligments at least three times a year cause of damn potholes !pull to left sounds funny to me get it checked out is it under accleration or lift off throttle

Get your universal steering joint checked if your steering feels loose. It's possible for them to rattle loose. Isthere any play in your steering wheel? what I mean is can you move it back and forth a little bit with just two fingers without moving the tries.

Are you running the stock tires? I know when I stepped up from the stock 215 width to 225, my car would track with any changes in the road. You would think 10mm wouldn't do much, but any cracks I would hit would cause the car to pull in that direction.

i have the same problem. the clutch was changed out at a very low mileage. but these cars suffer from torque steer really bad after you upgrade the tires to 225. i know this sounds stupid, but check the tire pressure. when mine pulls to the right sometimes i just air it back up to 49psi and its good to go for about 2 months.

i know it sounds rediculous, but it works....

It not to bad of a pull its more of a slight drift. They are stock tires. I think im going to bring it back in and get it checked. Ill probably run the universal steering joint checked out also. Josh&shell you inflate to 49 psi?? I thought that the front were supposed to be 32 and the rear 30 psi?
