Bought a 06 Evo 9 brand new and it pulls slightly to the right, no shaking or anything, just a slight gradual movement. Wondering if anyone else has experianced this, and if this is covered by warranty. Car is stock.

Hey Rob,

Yes, your problem on here has been quite common. Depending on how many miles your car has, you can have it realigned if it is under 1200miles or so I beleive? A lot of 9 owners are having to replace their tires early becuase of uneven wear. If your car is not under that short alignment warratny, you should take your car to a AMS type place (tuner shop for Evos and the liking) and let them PERFECTLY do it... For just a little bit more then the place down the street. Itd be worth it

car has 400 miles on it, and i KNOW i have not hit a curb or anything else. I'm extremely carefull with it. I'll probably bring it to the dealer for free first, and im gonna get suspension in december anyhow, so i'll get a shop to align it correctly at that point. Thanks for the info, thought the dealer had sold me a vehicle which had already been curbed.

Yeah, definitely take it in then. There's been quite a few people noticing that the alignment is off on the new IX's. Congrats on the car and enjoy it. I'm about to buy one :-)

 

mine pulls no matter what i do one day it would be left and then the next day it will be right

 

my IX pulls to the right...has since day one..been looking into a few local alignment places...also bump steer is a bi***

 

Check your tires, mine did the same thing. Tires made a huge difference.

 

Funny, just rotated my tires, have been every 3500 since new in January, my right front is worn extra on the inside relative to other three, also pulls to right after rotation, but tires also almost dead. 17500 on car, with many mountain runs, couple autocross and three drags.

 

mines pulls to the right also. had it reallinged and they said nothing was wrong with it. i personally feel its the tires and will let you know when i have to replace them.

 

i checked tire pressures before posting this thread, they seem fine, what are the proper pressures for stock tires? all mine were at 40psi.

 

My tires are set to 35 psi all around.

 

40 is high

 

Keep the rears two or three pounds less than the fronts to help the rear end come around when cornering. 40 lbs is way to much. Try 33f and 31r or for better fuel economy try 35f and 33r.

 

When I got my EVO from the dealership, i think the tires were way under inflated. But when my buddy picked up his EVO they were inflated close to 45 PSI all around!!!

 

In my owner manual is written 32psi front 27 rear tires
