Why does my car always pull right?
I've taken it in two times ... and I think this time it came back a little worse! Its constantly pulling right, even on left banking roads. And the wheel is a like 5 degrees off when I'm driving straight. ARGH!

They fixed that problem on mine. They needed to take the steering apart. Don't know what they did though.

See Garage
Mine had a slight pull to the right... out of alignment the dealer said... they fixed it right the first time. They replaced something on the sway bar.
Ask your dealer if they know how to do a proper alignment third time around, or will they mind paying the bill when you take it to a Chevy dealer who knows what they're doing.

Had the same problem, took it in, had lunch, picked it up. End of story, works fine now, they said they tightend some bolts or something didn't really pay much attention was drooling over the SL's they have. Nonetheless, everything is in working order.

We should go there together and complain coz when I told them.. they had the audacity to tell me that it'snot a known issue and tried to make me pay for the 2nd alingment job because MB only allows 1 free alingment. I was like hell no.. you guy s didn't fix it correctly the first time so i'm not paying.. after an hour they cancel the charge but the probelm still is there.. i just haven't had the chance to take the car back....
