Default steering

hi another issue that i wanted to ask you guys about, have any of you ever found that while your driving you car tends to pull extremely aggressively towards the direction of which ever way that the grove of the road goes? i think it might be my tires but im not sure.

It happens to me sometimes, but for now I'm saying it's because of my bad brakes..they're warped lol. We'll see when they get replaced(rotors and pads)

I have a tubular k-memeber, bumpsteer kit and 9 wide fronts. IT does the same thing where ever the road is very uneven if you know wut i mean. It could be cuz of that. Unless ur tired are very worn out. THen its the tires. What wheels do u have?

if there is a big angle to the road the car will always pull aggressively in that direction. best thing to do is find a perfectly flat road most likely the highway and get in the left lane as there is less of an angle there and see how the car drives. if it still pulls cross the front tires and try again, if it pulls in the opposite direction then rotate front to rear and see how it drives. if you cant cross the front tires because they are directional just rotate front to rear.

i have bullitt 18x9" rims with kumho ecsta asx tires and the car has steeda lowering spring but i dont know what ones because they were on th car when i bought it same with the tires and rims and the max psi for the tires is 51psi and i have 36 in all of them. and ive tried rotating them and everything and that didnt help, and the tires are not badly worn they still have a half decent amount of tread left on them. and it normally drives pretty straight on a flat set of road but as soon as there is some type of grove in the road it pulls the car in that direction, oh and the tires are all 9in wide all the way around as well. and thank you so much guys for all the input!

id say check the tag on the drivers side door jam it should tell you the recomended psi for each tire ...if its off from that sticker it might have an effect on the ride quality
