Hey, I just recently replaced both wheel bearings, calipers, arm bushings, balljoints and new tires and then had an alignment put on my 96 cav 2.2 sedan. My problem is when i'm driving through town (around 25mph) it pulls to the right. Now when I'm taking off from a stop and giving it some gas the car seems to go strait under acceleration but as soon as I let off the gas or if it shifts into forth gear the car wil shoot to the right and wil just keep pulling that way until I hit the gas to pass someone or what ever. The car will straiten right out until like I said take my foot off the gas ot it shifts in to the higher gear. Any ideas what is causing this???? I'm taking it back to the shop on thursday but I wanted to you guys what you think. I was told by someone that either the alignment isn't right or that maybe the rear wheels need shimmed? I know this sounds dumb but I do have a spoiler from a neon srt on it. It is slightly crooked. Could this be cuasing it to do that? I don't know.....I had a sunfire that always wanted to pul to the left at alllt ime...I took it to three different places and no body could figure it out. Now I have this problem it is a littl different from my fire but it's still an alignment problem...Are these cars prone to alignment issues? Or is it my bad luck?

well with the wing crooked and the accelerated speed of the earth around the sun, depending on what time of day it is, it could very well be possible.
















no on a serious note it could be a few things. could be they didnt do the alignment right, could be the rears need to be shimmed or you could have bad outer tie rods

LOL I wasn't serious about the spoiler it's only like a 1/16 off....... Thanks for the input!

check the tie rod ends and look at the boots and see if grease is coming out. if not i would take it back to the alignment shop.

that definitely sounds like a toe issue........ Just take it back and tell them what its doing.... a reputable shop will fix it for free since you paid for an "alignment" to begin with

it could also be a rear shim issue but to make a car pull like that, your rear axle would have to be very messed up

It had some pull to it before I had the alignment done. The hard pull (the one it gets after I let off the gas) started after the alignment. It goes back on thursday. Hopefully they can get it worked out. Thanks guys!
