Accent MC (2006-11) :: GL Won't Go Straight - Pulls To The Right
Mar 27, 2011
I bought a 2011 accent GL 2 weeks ago from now and the car wont go straight, even when i center the steering wheel the car pulls to the right, it gets really annoying.
I took the car to the dealership a week ago and they said "its the road" that are build to make the car pull to the right, but i dont think its right that i have to fight with the car to keep it going straight when going 80 km/h or over. What could be causing this?

When driving in a straight road (even at constant speed) car pulls to right. I have to apply force toward left constantly. Did a wheel alignment, but that didn't fix the issue. Given below is the result sheet.

I have uneven pad wear on the front discs. The passenger side has about 1/8" pad left, while the driver's side is almost new. The car pulls to the passenger side on braking.
I've had a bad hose on a different car which caused a caliper to lock (and actually lit the pads on fire!), but both calipers are moving when the brakes are applied.
What I'm trying to figure out is how to determine which side and component is defective. It seems to me that a partially blocked hose or iffy caliper on the driver's (unworn) side could cause it to have low power. How do I diagnose this?

2001 Ex 7.3 4x4 with 4" lift (6" with 37" Pro Comp tires)
All new front end steering components.
All new Shocks (bilstein)
All tires properly inflated to same PSI
All new brake rotors, calipers, caliper mounts, and pads.
When under hard acceleration the vehicle pulls to the left and I have to compensate by steering to the right. Under deceleration the vehicle pulls to the right and I have to compensate by steering to the left.
I am about to change all four brake lines to Braided Stainless Steel lines, replace all leaf spring bushings with polyurethane, and install a rear anti-sway bar. I'm going through this methodically enough or am I just building a brand new truck one part at a time?

My 2003 F250 6.0 pulls to the right when driving at any speed. In order to keep it going straight the steering wheel must be slightly tilted to the left, not much but a little. When the brakes are applied hard it will go to the left slightly if you are not holding the wheel good. Neither of these are terrible, just a nuisance. I'm worried about uneven tire wear too. One front wheel bearing was replaced a few weeks ago. It had this problem before that and still does after. Does this sound like an alignment or maybe something more?

When I make a left, my car makes this eeek...eeek...eeek noise, when I'm going straight and go over a bump there is no noise, I press the brakes on all stops no noise, making a right no noise... I tried checking the front left brakes today and it looks fine, I even cleaned it a bit and it's still the same.

On my 2006 Passat, the steering wheel is not aligned (at 12 o'clock) when I'm driving straight. It is roughly at 11 o'clock position, maybe a little less. The dealership claims this will be solved with a front end wheel alignment. The car drives straight as an arrow with hands off the steering wheel so I tend to wonder.
Will a wheel alignment fix this? Or could it be something else?

When in 4x4 and I go to do a 90 deg turn. The steering wheel pushes back to straight and seems like I have to fight it to turn the wheels. What could be causing this? I was in 4x4 Low on a dirt road at first then stopped, put it in Neutral, and turned it back to 4x4 High and then when turning in a parking lot it started doing this.

My car pulling to right significantly at all speed. Alignment checked mechanic says its normar to have car goes to right. I have similar car for 10 years 140,000 miles never have this kind of pull with many tires changed and rotation of all kind. While mechanic was doing wheel alighment white brown greese / liquid came out from steering rack on right side. Mechanics says its just oil seal from steering rack oil seal. Car was pulling to right before this rack leak as well. Mechanic says need special bolts for this car to adjust some camber on this car and can make this better.

Getting an intermittent power problem at about 50 to 55, could that be a spark plug or timing or possibly a fuel problem?

I have this issue for awhile now. Randomly, above 30mph the car will start chirping, like a cricket sound. When I turn the wheel left or right, it will stop. As soon as it's straight it will start again. What this might be? The car is almost out of warranty and I want to get it in as soon as possible.

For some time now my phaeton won't go straight and I have to counter steer. This happens often when the road is uneven. But this doesn't happen on a parking lot. For example when theres a light curve to the left on the motorway I can keep the steering whell straight. I noticed that some days the steering is fine - but these days a rare. So the "weirdness" of the steering isn't all the time the same sometimes it's stronger and sometimes less. The weird thing is last week I hit a kerbstone with the right Wheel - nothing serious, just a bit - but the steering felt suddenly totally weird - I had to counter steer even stronger. But when I got in the car again after 4hours the steering was as before the hit.
I checked the tyre pressure, changed the left wheels to the right but no change. This happens even on other wheels. 245/15r19 and 235/55r17. The car has 120000km ~ 75000miles
I was at the dealer but they told me there's nothing wrong with the car - two guys where doing a test drive with me - they probably just wanted to get rid of me. Next week I have a appointment at another VW service but I fear they don't take me serious.

I have a 1995 Infiniti G20. I was driving and everything was fine when my clutch went straight to the floor. It was incredibly arduous to pull back up, now the clutch is very stiff, almost impossible to push down. What could the problem be?

I put on a new set of tires (X Radial) at Sams Club with installation plan which includes balancing. I also brought the car to the dealer to have alignment (front I guess) done. The car goes a straight line no matter what except it always pulls left if I release the steering wheel when I brake from a high speed.

so on the way home from the golf course, I caught a little bit of fluttering in 3rd and 4th gear pulls. Time to upgrade the dv I guess. I was under the impression that we wouldn't have to do this though.

I got my alignment done today and everyone went into factory specs but the front camber. Both the front left and right are at 1.0. But the thing is that the car pulls to the right and I have to turn the wheel a little to the left to compensate
I have a tanabe spring install with 20x9.0 in the front with nitto 555 245/35/20. And 10.5 with 275/30/20 in the rear.
Do your cars pull to the right? Will the tires wear wrong? The car was back into specs except the cAmber in front.

This problem started about 1000 miles ago, but has gotten more noticeable over the past few days (and 2 long trips). The car, when under way at all speeds, pulls to the right. If I release the wheel, the pull is immediate and direct, not like the usual "drift" that was there before. At slow speeds I can detect a "wobble" coming from the front end that I thought might have been a loose wheel. I checked the wheel as best I could, and it seems tight. As the speed of the car increases, the "wobble" feeling goes away. I am just left with having to correct the steering wheel slightly left to compensate for the pull to the right.
I seem to recall having a tire break a radial belt on another car which caused some similar issues, but it was a long time ago and I don't remember specifics. Brakes seem fine, wheel seems tight. I don't recall running over any bad potholes or anything like that. Tire pressures are equal. Whatever the problem is, it is not making any noises. No hum like a wheel bearing going or anything else identifiable. I'm thinking either a front wheel might have thrown a balance weight; I have a wheel out of round for some reason (or a tire out of round); or maybe something else.

So whenever I try to test my alignment ( which i just had done) by taking my hands off the wheel and applying the brakes the car always pulls to the right,
now I've heard that the GLI's brakes can sometimes ware uneven, could this be the cause of that? Will I need new rotors and pads?

Just as the title says I'm getting a good pull to the right when braking. Little background, truck has 155k, rotors and pads replaced 10 days ago, new tires today. Now with the new tires the pull is more pronounced than with the old tires but has been there, which I thought was just worn out rubber, apparently not.
All caliper pins are greased and moving freely, and for kicks I replaced left pins to see if some how they were fouling up, they weren't, still pulling. So my question after searching is maybe the last two culprits are bad caliper or bad hose? I just wanted to bounce this off the board and see if I am on the right track to fix this issue.

I have a 2007 hyundai accent 1.6 l gls, recently got a code p0496 and installed a purge valve and 4 days later got a code p0497 (evap emission sys. Low purge flow). Would it be better for me to take my car to an emission shop where it can be diagnosed since i do not want to take to dealership cause the cost would be very high. I want to diagnose it with some machine that will pinpoint the main problem without me replacing parts just to find out that maybe the part i thought was bad did not need to be replaced.
