got a pull to the left. tires are new, and be rereplaced. everythng is new down to the body frame bushings. mounts bushings brakes struts everything front and rear. had alignment checked a few times. all good.
i am left with 2 possibles,
engine placement, and subframe placement.
subframe has been lowered a couple times for rack, control arms, and body frame bushings.
motor mounts, all, have been replaced.
i really cant tell which is causing it, no one else seems to know either. on the big motor mount by the belts i noticed if you losen it you can move the engine north south east west with a pry bar quite a bit, if its pulling to the left somewhat which way should i move it? im thing maybe north or south - being north is the front and rear is south. and subframe maybe?

Might consider putting it on a computerised frame machine at a body shop.

Sounds like a bent frame and sometimes tires do round out due to being faulty.

I had a '91 Caravan that pulled to the left when new, tires were changed, alignment checked, even had it sent back to Windsor to measure the frame, turned out to be the steering rack was out of whack.

from what I got so far is both new sets of tires made it pull. I went somewhere else to have it checked and no pull. also had alignment done there and found even with new rear leaf spring bushings both rear tires were pointing right but on the very boarder of being out so I had them but a shim in the right rear and was just beautiful for almost a week. Now the steering wheel is to the right now, before it was to the left, but for almost a week it was straight. Does this still sound like I should go to frame shop?
