    I love this woman I swear she simply explains things that an ant can call their buddies to group up and fix cars. Plus she's just down right smart. No bs, no yapping and selling. Just knowledge and helpful. I came to confirm it was a tie rod. THANK YOU BECAUSE IT WAS. Idiot job in town blames the tire after alignment smh

    One thing i learned that it can create the the same drift to left and right is the control arm. I found mine was i little loose and i couldn't see it because the car was on the ground but i lifted it and removed the tire, after that i moved the tire mount left and right and i saw 2 loose bolts. Make sure to inspect everything before ordering part that you might not need.

    I've owned my car for 17 years now and the car has been really good to me. Recently hit 150K miles and decided to replace the CV axles and ball joints. While doing that I found that my tie rod ends were trashed. The part that connects to the steering knuckle was super easy to move around with my finger. Bought two replacement Delphi units and they are awesome.

    Replace what is bad.Not always bad tie rod.Another thing to check the toe with the vehicle on the ground with a tape measure.Measure at the same spot in the front and rear of the of the tire.If out an 1/8th of a difference,toed out and this will cause a pull.Have seen it myself.

  • @highwinds71
    @highwinds71 ปีที่แล้ว

    I believe you may have answered my question , my car pulls quickly to the right then left when it shifts into second on the transmission and it happens quick.
    Thinking its the part that looks like an elbow.
    Next question I have is how to for sure tell if a transmission is going?
    It hard shifts and because of what happens when it gets into second I have been afraid to go over 40 in it .
    I don't even know if it will shift into the other gears .
    I been watching videos for a week now and you're the only one I found that could answer my first question.😊

  • @southpark159753
    @southpark159753 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    For me it was letting my alignment go to long as i couldn't get it done, as a result two tires on my passenger side were down way lower in tread vs the driver side. This resulted in a pull from cupping\much lower tread on one side

    I hit a pothole 2 weeks ago, tyre was flat and steering was off. Got the tyre fixed and tracking done, but the car is still pulling to the right and the steering wheel is not centered. Got tracking done again, same problem. The first shop advised that the tyre was not damaged. They just inflated it again. I am at a loss now as I don't know what is causing the issue.

    and if you were to have a fouled up sleeve metering hyd,, spool valve / steering gear box
    the same issue, hard pull off the road. been there with that one. rack and pion steering damaged sticking same thing. fouled wheel bearings, tie rod ends, Idler link arm, and how about front and rear wheel alignment, same issue, any number of things can cause the car to steer to one direction of the other. fouled up front wheel alignment, wrong toe in or none at all.

  • @HandyTim
    @HandyTim ปีที่แล้ว

    I recently replaced my outer tie rod end and now the car pulls to the right which I'm guessing means I didn't turn the rod in enough turns counted 23 turns to come out so went with 23 going in. Doesn't pull hard just a tiny bit that would put the car in the stop sign (if I allowed it) from about midblock.
