Q: Truck pulls to the right
I have a 1997 k1500. I recently replaced all the tie rods, ball joints and the idler arm. Pitman arm was still good. I also put new tires on it after it was lined up. Ever since I put the new parts on it's been pulling to the right with new and old tires. After I got it lined up I went down the road and it was still pulling so I took it back. We messed with it for an hour and a half. Even turned the tires to the left just to see if it would help. The truck drove in a straight line minus the play from the tie rods. The steering position sensor was bad and I changed it. Still the same problem. I put an infrared on the calipers and rotors roughly the same heat. Also there new. Made sure both front axles are disengaged. All the tires have equal pressure. Wheel bearings are also good. Any body have any ideals about this.
My car has 14000 miles.
