I've noticed that my '08 SS pulls to the left pretty noticeably for awhile. I'm not sure if it's done it since last year when I bought it, but I have noticed it for a few months at least. I took it to NTB for an alignment and they said it was out of specs, so they performed the alignment and even rotated the tires/wheels. They said it pulls a little bit now and that is due to the tires. I drove it after and it seems to pull just as hard as before Any ideas? Thanks guys!

They could be right, this happened to me when the belts separated in some tires. How many mile were on the tires, running out of alignment ?

 

When most shops perform an alignment, they provide the measurements of before and after(which is usually generated by computer). Did you get this sheet of paper??

 

When I bought mine it pulled left. I took it to Bob Jordan's in Scottsdale (best alignment shop I've ever been at). They put camber bolt adjustment bolts in it. They ended up with camber at 15deg. pos. left and 15deg neg. right. Runs straight as an arrow now. With more than 5000 miles on the adjustment no excess tire wear that I can find.
-----OOPS----- I mean 0.15deg pos. left + 0.15deg. neg. right

 

Swap the two front tires or rotate front to rear. This will correct. Ase certified in steering and suspension

 

TG for the correction - LOL - 15deg. would be a wee bit too much

 

Bac in my alignment days having one side differing from the other by 30 degrees sounds way off and they are attempting to correct the pull. I noticed the same pull to the left in my 2006 hhr, it was never corrected after 3 attempts with an alignment. even new tires did not correct it.

My impression is the hydraulics with the electric steering is not properly centered. as an example on a r/c car, boat or plane, you can adjust the steering of the wheels or rudders with the trim on the controller.

 

Swap front tires left to right. If it still does it, then your caster or camber is out. A lot of times they can be out enough to cause pull, but still be in the guidlines of ok... Is it a true pull or is the steering wheel not centered? Can you get it to coast straight with the steering wheel slighly off center? If so then they need to set the tow with the steering wheel straight...

 

Newer cars are touchy and this may require multiple test drives and adjusting each tie rod the same # of turns...

 

That's why I said OOPS it is .15 not 15 read to the end of the post
