I have an odd one for you this morning, I will attempt to make sense. I drive an 89 Chevy K1500. This truck generally drives so straight, you can take your hand off the wheel, and it will not drift almost at all. But the other week, I was driving down a road, everything was fine; I got a phone call, pulled over, when I went to drive away, the truck was pulling VERY hard to the left. It felt like a low tire, so I got home, and made sure all the tires were fine. Drove it again, same thing. I got it on a lift, all the tie rods are fine, ball joints are fine, pitman arm seemed fine, idler arm seemed fine, brakes had no drag, calipers moved free, wheel bearings seemed to have no play. For S&G, I rotated the tires, same thing. I double checked the rear brakes, no drag on either of them. This seems weird, but it gets weirder. The reason I suspected the brakes is because it would occasionally go away, and come back after I hit the brakes. But, the even stranger thing is, if I make a real hard turn to the right, there is a grinding noise that you can feel in the wheel, and it feels like a bad bearing. Which is what lead me to look at the wheel bearings. But to top it off, there is NO NOISE going down the road at all. Which I realized that this truck has less road and wind noise than a 2006 Nissan Altima, just a random thought. But thus concludes my perplexing situation.
