So I picked it up and now it's pulling to the left and the steering wheel it 30 degrees to the right to keep it going straight. So I took it back and they said that it's probably "tire pull". They are going to swap the left and right side tires to see if it then will pull to the right, rather than putting it back on the alignment rack. Has anyone heard of tire pull before? I smell BS.


Actually, when I had my Land Rover...w/BFG M/T's I had a very similar issue w/a tire pull. It was a manufacturer defect and the tire caused the pull to one side. Discount Tire had to rotate the tires and I would continue to go back and forth trying to pin point it until they determined it was the tire itself. After replacing that one tire, it didn't pull at all.

It's alot of trial and error and time.
