nipper Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 We need more information. How many miles. When was the last wheel alignment How old are the tie rods, ball joints etc. How big was the pothole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) Jack the car up and see if one wheel is harder to spin than the others. Probably alignment problem. Tires could be worn unevenly. Switch front tires left to right and right to left and see if it pulls to the left.

okamikai Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Hi, did you recently fell on a hole? if yes, the tie rods may have gone bad as well as the control arm bushings; and just as nipper said, if the ball joints and tie rods have never been change it may be a good idea to do so; Salt on the roads can speed up corrosion on these parts and it can also cause the rubber to crack it they are original-old.

okamikai Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 checked tire pressure drives straight when steering wheel straight how 2 check for dragging brakes and if thats it how to fix??? take the tires out and check the pads; they should be wearing out evenly against the surface of the rotor, if not you should repair/replace the calipers.
