As the title states, when I'm on the highway doing 65+ it feels as if my mustang try's to pull to either side. I got an alignment about a week ago and if I let go out of the wheel it will stay in a straight line so a little confused lol
Now that you mention it, it always happens on the same highway when I'm heading home from school. But I think I do have a small leak/warped rotor in my front passenger tire could that cause it?
Yeah well I live in MA so every road is **** lol but now that you guys mention it, it is a certain length on the highway same spot. But at around 60/65 MPH car acts funny but over 70 rides better its weird lol

You think the roads are bad there? Try San Diego roads. The city workers never work on them. I heard we have the 9th worst roads in the nation or something like that

We need to move to Miami lol when my brother and sister some to visit and drive here they always boast about never having to worry about potholes/manhole covers there and such a smooth ride there lol
Yeah so doesn't sound like a big problem right? Lol bottom line is roads just suck because I know it's not the alignment because I just got one. This may be a stupid question but what is bump steer?
When I made that thread, I wasn't sure if mine was lowered. It didn't look like it, but at a car show another guy with a stock Mach 1 said he thought it was lowered. At the same time, I was getting the pull from side to side on the road and assumed it was bump steer. I know now it was un-even pavement, etc. mostly becasue I was not used to wide performace tires.
Hmm..okay lol, makes sense. It's not serious and it wasn't always happening so I was just wondering if something particular could be causing this. Thank you for your help I do appreciate it
Could certainly be my brakes lol, my front brakes both have warped rotors and should be changed lol, going to get drilled and slotted rotors for the front. Already have them on the back so hopefully this will clear up my problem
Umm you can't balance your brakes and brakes wont cause your car to wander. OP did you happen to get a printout of your alignment specs from the shop that did it?
That's the trucker in me talking. Also, had a Crown Vic in which the rears were so off balance they hardly came on at all. Also had a 760 Turbo and the right front was either fully on, or fully off, regardless of what the other three were doing. I guess we don't even have a brake balancer in ours.

Your right the brakes would only pull when applied, and if you had a balljoint replaced sounds more like a allignment problem. R your tires showing any uneven wear.
Yes, I was talking about drums, save for the 760 Turbo.
And no, I'm not so dim as to suggest that the vehicle would experience any sort of pull/wander without brake application. I was suggesting that, if the OP believed it to be a brake problem (pulling under braking) and he were to do his brakes as a result, he'd want to make sure the balance was set. Now, if he's running warped rotors, depending on how bad, then it's very likely the car would pull (assuming a bad rotor on one side) under braking and, if the front/back balance were off, he'd have a bigger problem.
That said, it's pretty likely NOT the brakes unless the issue only appears while under braking. So, it's all pretty moot anyway.
Regardless I am replacing the front brakes with drilled slotted rotors and pads, so we will see. It's Not that bad. My front passenger tire is trash lol so defiantly uneven wear and a leak lol and it's pulling on that side so I may have just answered my own question lol
