Post Alignment - Still pulling to the right

[mwatkins67]

I recently had an alignment done on my car. Per the repair shop it is within Hyundai specs, but still pulls to the right significantly. The shop thinks it's tire pull, but all of the tires are fairly new and evenly worn...7,500 miles. Any ideas on this?

Hello and welcome!

Unfortunately, many on this forum report their cars pulling to the right even after an alignment. For some, it has become a long and expensive journey searching for a fix. Here is a recent thread as an example:

Yes, another "alignment" issue(?)

Hey guys(y), I have a 2013 Genesis R-Spec 5.0 sedan & I'm baffled by a mysterious "alignment" issue. I will start by saying auto mechanics is my profession.. but im looking for some suggestions. The car physically pulls right. It's not a "general drift" its a real pull. Alignment specs are...

All your numbers can be within the specified range, but if they're all within the range in the proper way, you get a car that goes straight and true. My 2012 Genesis was a nightmare at first, but I finally found a shop that understood this and tweaked things (after a few test drives) to get a very comfortable setup.

Do the roads you usually drive on have a noticeable crown (raised center) in the middle? Most roads do to an extent.

That will make the car veer to the right, regardless of alignment.

It ended up being the steering wheel sensor. Driving straight now!

My worn Pirelli's were pulling to the right late in their life. Alignment numbers showed no reason to pull. One set of cheap Atlas and medium priced General's later... still pulling to right. Both of those sets were removed due to vibration issues and finally replaced with a set of P7's.

Car tracks straight now. Go figure. Will hold breath when rotating them for the first time...

One of the few reasons I would hold off on rotating the tires, lol. The veering really bothers me.

Please report back post-rotation.

Hi, was it broken or had to be calibrated?
