When my car had 35,000 miles my struts went bad and they replaced them at the dealership under the warranty. Now, only after 10,000 miles I started to hear a knocking noice in the right wheel and when I took it back to the dealership, they said that the struts had gone bad again. They ordered new struts and replaced them and when I took the car it started to pull to the right so much that the steering wheel can not even stay in a straight position. They kept doing alignment after alignment and said that everything checks out fine. They said that they have even put brand new tires on it and it is still pulling to the right. They still have my car there and still can not figure out what is causing the pulling. If you have come accross something like that please let me know.

Wow, sorry to hear that. How bad it is turning to the right? I know that they keep doing an alignment, but it sounds like that has to be the problem. You might have them check the brakes on the wheel. If it has ceased, it could cause the car to steer towards that direction. Is it the same tech that is working on the car each time? You might have the service manager weigh in on it. Hope you get the problem fixed.bud

I'm having the same problem! I just cracked up my front passenger side suspension and had everything, tie rod+end, tension rod, lower control arm and end of my sway bar replaced. I'm not sher what it is either. Check where the front rad support is connected to the frame rail and tell me if they're seperating. My rad support is pulling away from the frame rail but I had to had my rad support pulled because of the accident. They tell me it's not related to the pulling but I think it may be. Every place I go they say it would be a ton of things. Just got new front tires and that didn't help. Keep posting we need to figure this out.
