90 suburban pulling to the right - 12/2/2006 11:16:56 PM

Just purchased a 90 1500 2 wheel drive Suburban which is really good shape. However it does have what I call a "pull to the right" not a drift. These terms may be interchanable. Anyway, new tires, new ball joints, allignment, tie rods nice and tight etc. With the new tires the pull was reduced a little but it still has a signigicant pull to the right. The higher the speed, the worse the pull. Pulls as soon as wheel is let go, have to keep hands close to wheel to prevent it changing lanes or hitting curb on right. Have read in other post about EVO sensor and steering box problems. Do 90 models have EVO sensors and/or are the 90 models prone to steering box problems? Could bearings cause a pull? Any other items I should check. Allignment shop couldn't find anything wrong with front end parts. Thanks in advance for any help on my problem.

It is possible the frame is tweaked from an accident or one of the control arms is bent. Do the front fenders and bumper line up perfectly?

It all looks good to me, I will do a closer examination tomorrow, get under it and check control arms and look for evidence of damage and repair in the past. Thanks for the advice.

It could be tires. I've seen that problem with certain tire tread designs, Try putting extra air pressure in the right front tire to see if it helps.

I vote for tires also. Try rotating the tires.
