"Drive straight! Argh!"

About 8 months after I bought my truck it started to get a slight pull to one side that would disappear every other tire rotation. I figured it was a crap Dunflop tire wearing poorly since several alignments failed to fix the problem.

Well, after getting new tires and even more alignments, it still pulls. The dealer swapped the two front tires and the pull became equal and opposite in the other direction. What the hell? If it was the wheel, wouldn't it wobble too and not just pull?

There was one time that a tire went flat and I drove it 6 blocks to a tire shop on -almost- no air but I doubt that would have bent the rim and I didn't notice anything immediately after that happened.

Any ideas? It -seems- to be getting worse and it steers very sloppy. Almost like I'm driving on ice.

Make sure your caliper is not seized! Their is a thread and it has happened to me where both my calipers on my 05 Sport had frozen.

I had thought about it being brake related but moving tires and wheels around changes the symptom. So it can't be brakes. I wish it was that simple. :(

Have you tried swapping out your spare tire for each wheel Ex start in back right take off back right replace with spare if that does not work replace front right with spare. could be that a rim is bent?

just an idea sorry.
