I have a 96 Country that has a hard pull to the right while driving at high and low speeds. It is not just when I brake. I was going to take it to Dobbs since I am clueless when it comes to this part of the jeep and wondering if anyone had any thoughts. I was thinking either a tire (it's looks okay, but I can't get it in the air to see if it has any bulges), a shock, or the steering wheel stabilizer. Any thoughts or ideas??

Thanks

that it seems kinda jumpy. Like its not griping the road correctly.

I'm not having any problems with braking, could this still be the issue? Thanks

When is the last time you had it aligned?

Caster and toe set incorrect will cause it to pull.

It had an alignment right before I bought it in July 2009. Tires need to be replaced so I am going to do that first.

Try checking the washer fluid, when it gets low thats known to happen.

don't change the tires first, that is a boat load of money you msay not have to spend. Unless the tread is wore in a weird pattern the tires are fine. Your problem is with caster and camber, toe does not cause a pull when driving. Camber and caster is your problem. Did you recently lift the jeep? or change any steering components. I would have it aligned and ches=ck ball joints for excessive play.

Have a reputable (not the "Best deal in town" ) alignment shop inspect all your TRE's and Have them align it. I can tell you right now its not your tires... The front of your tires should be 1/8" closer together than the back of your tires (toe in ). Caster and camber are not adjustable (unless you have adjustable control arms) so you would have to have a bad Balljoint or maybe even a bad wheel bearing, but thats unlikely.

Put new tires on it this morning and solved the problem. I also replaced the shocks since they were getting bad. Thanks everyone.
