Default car pulls to the right. need help.
my car pulls to the right when cruising and i'm stumped. The tires are not the problem and the alignment is perfect. All new front suspension. front brake rotors and calipers are new. rear brake pads are new. Any thoughts on what it could be?

Check all 4 brake temps after driving a ways. An IR temp gun is good for this. Ideally coast up a hill and pull over with minimal application of the brakes or coast around a mall or tech center road where there is no traffic and stop with minimal brake usage.

Did you have this problem before you changed everything?

I'm guessing not. He probably got the wrong part, or mounted something wrong. Maybe post pics of your front suspension?
