Answers:
Its difficult to say where the problem lies in your suspension related issue. You say you think you need tires. Do they show wear? The type of wear they show can indicate specific problems with your suspension. Now, worn tires can certainly cause a car to want to pull to one side or the other, but if you have worn suspension components that cause the car to pull to one sire or the other, that could be causing the tires to wear, you see? If its an older car or has a lot of miles on it, then chances are there are worn components. Take your car to a shop and tell them your car needs an alignment. I guarantee they will find the problem, but you might not like the outcome. If you do have worn parts, they wont be able to align it until thoseparts are replaced. If your tires are wearing, then you will have to get it aligned to stop that. Whatever you do, dont spend the money on new tires without getting the worn parts replaced and the vehicle aligned, or you will just be throwing away your money and buying new ties again in a year.

Tie rod ends go bad. Depending the type of car you have, you could have inner and outer tie rod ends, on each side of the car. You could have a bad idler arm, or worn strut tower bushings, again, it all dependson the car your driving, but all of these things will go bad in any car and cause exactly what your experiencing. You'll need specialized tools to replace most of these parts, so a shop would be your best bet. Any good tire store should be able to replace all of these parts and more. Good luck!

Should get the Aligment checked! yeah having the tires is a good idea too... it may be a sticky brake making the car "pull to a side.Overall get it checked at a trusted shop.

The backseat of my car is soaking wet?
Well, a car pulling one way or the other can be caused by several things...first, are all the tires inflated to the correct pressure, around 30 psi on most cars?Where can i find a 12bolt rearend for a1968 ss 396 camaro?
Next, look at the tread on each tire, is the tread pattern "even" all the way across on each one. If it looks like one side of the tire is close to bald "no tread" inside or outside, you may need an alignment.
How do I smooth out or get rid of scratches on front bumper of my car?
The only reason you would need "new" tires is if the wear is uneven, "bubbles" forming on the side walls, tread separation, worn out, etc. If they are "passable" at an inspection station, it's a personal choice.
Last, is there any noise when you apply the brakes? It is possible one side may be sticking slightly, causing the car to pull to one side...

What's a good price (parts and labor) for diagnosing and replacing a window motor? (Saturn SL-2)?
Pulling to the left could be a couple of things, first of all you could have a caliper sticking, or you could have a brake hose collapsing causing the brake to drag you could have alignment problem or a bad tire on that side or it may even be the road has grooves in it from heavy traffic or big trucks but you need to get it to a shop that you trust and let them look at it because it will just get worse.First, make sure your tires all have equal air pressure (about 32psi in most cases). If one in the front is low, the car will pull toward that direction. Then, if it still pulls, get the front end aligned. While they are at it, tell them to check to see if a front brake is sticking. That could cause a pull to that side. If it's not any of these, then it is in the tires. They have worn irregularly, or there is a broken steel belt due to prolonged improper inflation or cheap tires. Get new tires, make sure they are high speed balanced to prevent shaking (all tires have a heavy spot that needs to be counterbalanced or they will shake) and you should be good from then on. Just keep an eye on your tire pressure, at least once a week.
Where is their a good auto shop that install headers and y pipes for camaros in Dallas Tx?
Yes, the tires can do that but also you more than likely need an alignment and/or some front end work possibly! Oil changes range from $16.99 to $70.00 where I live depending on vehicle, engine, and quality of oil and filter you use!The drive thru oil change centers are generally the cheapest but beware, they have inexperienced help that sometimes do more damage than good!
Other things to check would be tire inflation, brakes, and tire balancing!
Try and find a GOOD REPUTABLE private mechanic and stay away from chain stores and dealers! They are notorious for cleaning out your bank account!
I livein Atalnat, is garage door opener must do auto-reverse when it is blocked when it rolls down?
Oil change for most cars is about $25 -$30. Your car's pulling is probably more related to the cars front end being out of alignment. If you don't correct it, it could ruin your tires, and make the overall problem more expensive to fix.More Questions & Answers ...
