confusion with my cb7

[pshadey]

got a quick and weird question my 92cb7 has a slight pull to the right but no uneven tire wear, so i put new steelies with tires on the front and now its pulling to the left (the opposite direction). this happened a while back when i rotated them as well, just figured it might be one of the back tires that was bad but i guess not.... any ideas.....

[mondojackal]

What are your suspension mods? brake mods? wheels mods? alignment specs?

[pshadey]

crap

everything is off alot......and i know that i have no suspension stock brakes and it can't be aligned.. but the good news is its my beater cb7 while i work on my project 92 cb7....i'm just wanting to know if my fellow cb7 enthusiast would have any ideas.. know of any tricks to make it better temporarily

If you're suspension alignment is way off, then that's obviously the problem. No quick fixes, just get the thing aligned.

could be the alignment, loose suspension and steering compenants in the front end. toe issues, caster etc. I've seen tires cause pulls also (radial pull) and air pressure in the tire. get an alignment. we can't help you if you havn't had it aligned. the pull isn't like a common issue or recall or tsb. It's a routine maintanance issue.

tires out of balance,pressure,toe,camber,caster,excessive play or looseness in the steering linkage or wheel bearings. Loose tie rod ends, idler arms, a worn steering rack, even loose rack mounts can all have an influence on directional stability. So be sure to perform a thorough inspection of the steering and suspension.

Another condition that may even cause a vehicle to steer crooked is a power steering problem. Internal leaks in the power steering control valve can route pressure to where it is not needed. The pressure imbalance may make the car drift to one side or, if bad enough, the car may try to steer itself with no assistance from the driver! You can check for this kind of problem by raising the wheels off the ground and starting the engine. If the steering wheel starts to turn all by itself, power steering work is what is needed here.

hope this helps

thanks

thanks all motor ill check and see if that may be it. but like i said the pull was to the opposite side a couple days ago, i pulled the steelies of my project car and put them on my daily driver (to work car) and the pull changed... i already know that there is a alignment issue and ive tried to get it fixed but the car was wrecked before and now it cant be aligned right.

try getting your wheels weighted, if not it may be a toe, or caster problem. Most likely toe.
