i went about 2 weeks ago to get an alignment because my car keeps going to the left. after it was done its not as bad as it used to be but it still goes to the left. what can it be ? is it a ball joint? thanks

before they did any alignment they should checked the complete front end for any problem, like ball joints ect. you shouldn't have any problems with the car pulling to the left, or something is wrong. should have been corrected with the alignment. there is a reason way the car pulls to the left. if all's well with the front end, it a alignment problem.

maybe tire pulling.

bs or not, the guy at the alignment shop should at least made up a reason to you why he couldn't fix it.

you could be right, a bad tire could cause it.

I've had it happen before that an alignment was done, I drove away and immediately took it back because it pulled. They put it back on the rack and found the toe was off (after they had just aligned it). Bottom line is they made a mistake. It happens, take it back and ask them to recheck it.

tires cause a pull. if you took it to a dealership they would have to cross rotate the tires and see if the pull continues. if it pulls the opposite way then its the tires. if not then they have to shift the beam over to the right a bit. camber and caster also plays into effect
