i dont know my durango is always pulling to the right i had it aligned and it still pulled so they said i needed new tires but this lady i know who owns a durango says she has the same problem and she just bought brand new tires...is anybody else having this problem?

 

my SS/T does that sometimes....like when the tire's a little low....try varying air pressure...if it says 33psi then try 29-36 my tires say 44psi...but i'll vary them 5 either direction.

 

Did you ever solve this mystery? I am having the same problem and the alignment shop which aligned it said it could be tie rods, brakes, tires but did not have any solutions that sounded like they knew what the real problem was so the Durango is still pulling to the right.....really annoying.. Tires are wearing fine so this is still a mystery.....Thanks....

 

If this problem developed right after you had your tires rotated, then it's most likely tire wear patterns. On a 4WD vehicle, alway cross the tires on the rotation. That way you are reversing the direction the tire rolls and knocking off the feathering or flat spots. If you do a standard rotation on a 4WD, you are asking for tire problems. Rotate and balance every 5,000 miles and make the shop pull the weights and rebalance everything! They all say they do, but 95% don't, so take a sharpie and put 1 dot on th front left weight, 2 dots on the front right, etc., and then write the info down. When you pick your vehicle up, look for the sharpie marks! If they are there, then they did not pull the weights and rebalance. You canalso tellif the tires were rotated properly if the old weight are on because you have written confirmation of the tire location before they started. Do this every time! They always try and take shortcuts. Your reward will be getting at least 50K miles out of a set of Goodyears or up to 75K or 80K out of a set of Michelins! Sorry for the diversion into balance and rotation, back to your original question, if your tires are new, and you can hold it to the left and it drives straight, it's a toe adjustment, if it pulls regardless, it a camber or caster adjustment. You need a good alignment tech! It's most likely NOT your tie rods, if it only happens while braking, then it is brakes, if it happens while not braking, it's not brakes! The alignment info I just received from my son who is Hunter trained and was just named top alignment tech of the year for the company he works for. Not a small company either. He also said that if you want the alignment to be even more exact, have them align it while you are sitting in the driver's seat, if they won't allow that, have them load you approximate weight in sandbags to the drivers side. Also, take you vehicle in for alignment loaded like you drive it every day. If you carry 200 LBS worth of stuff in the vehicle and then unload it, have it aligned, and then reload it and have problems, you could be creating your own problem. Hope this helps.
