My 2018 was wrestling me going down the road. Hard pull to the right. If course the shop foreman told me they are supposed to do that so if you fall asleep.....
So they aligned it and it was still no better. Tough luck they said. By coincidence I was there today and the night shop guy happened to be there. He's a hustler and when I told him my problem he said it's not the alignment, and jacked it up and started working on it. Finally he said we're putting new steer tires on it (@113,000). I was impressed. Haven't driven it far but it seems perfect. Just letting you know if you run into this.
Front end pull even after alignment, check the steer tires.

How did the old steers look @ 113,000?
KB3MMX and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
They were good. Right tire was wearing on the outsides a bit. Didn't measure but tread depth seemed OK. They were Bridgestone. I got the truck at 85k so don't know the history.KB3MMX and Rideandrepair Thank this.

Can't believe the reason was for falling asleep. WOW.
Rideandrepair and Oldironfan Thank this. -
So were tires under warranty or did you fork out money?
Think I just realized you are a company man.Trucking in Tennessee Thanks this. -
New tires are glass smooth and truck is driving perfect. My Impala doesn't ride this good. It's got Michelins on there now.
86scotty Thanks this. -
the first thing that needed to be done was to switch the tires side to side if it pulls left then it the tire if not it the truck very simple
KB3MMX and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
Had that with new tires before. Switched sides went away called tire pull. Tires were still goodKB3MMX Thanks this.
