Pulling to the left at hwy speeds

shawn1112 · Jun 9, 2016

Just picked up a 14 Laramie and at hwy speeds anything above 50mph it's pulling to the left. Under 50mph it doesn't do it at all. I saw on the Carfax the original owner had same issue and dealer did an alignment. I'm pretty handy around cars and trucks, everything visually on front suspension looks to be ok. Any ideas before I take it in to dealer as I still have factory warranty?

Does this happen only on the same highway or does it pull to the left on any road you go over 50 on? My last truck I had this problem and it turned out to be the highway itself being sloped toward the left shoulder too much causing it to pull to the left.

Not saying that's definitely the problem, but just something to consider...

Was it just a front end alignment? Probably need to do a thrust angle alignment. That will check if the rear axle is perpendicular to the chassis and parallel the front axle.

Move the tires around. A previous poster had the same problem and it was a bad tire.

Going to swap front left and right tires first to rule out the tire. If that doesn't do it I will go to the dealer with this info and see if they will do that under warranty.

Hemi35, does it on any road above 50mph
