Description of the problem | My chevrolet aveo pulls to the right, upon acceleration and driving at a constant speed. I made the dealership aware of the problem and they said that it needed an alignment. They gave it an alignment and it helped for a few weeks. Then the vehicle starting pulling to the right again. I took it for a second opinion and they said the vehicle has torque steering and with the way it is built it will drive like this. Suggested welding weights on left side of engine to make it heavier on the left side, also suggested a wider tire, but they would need gm approval first. They also gave the vehicle an alignment. I still have this problem with the vehicle. *nm |
