I worked at a Pontiac dealership 20 some years ago and a lady pulls in with a T1000. That was the Pontiac equivelant of the Chevette, the smallest car GM made at the time and it was very small.
Now this lady was an easy 500 pounds. As she drives up we are amazed by two things.
1. She fit in the car
2. The car was leaning abot 15* to the drivers side.
When she gets out (with great dificulty) the car stays at 15* tilt. She then askes what could be wrong with her car to cause it to lean so far over.
Neadless to say we tried to stay as profesional as possible and told here we would put the car in the shop. The entire drivers side suspension was shot. Of course, she asked what could have caused that and she did not like the answer. We recomended getting a bigger car.
Now to your problem....I have no idea!

check your alinment. then check your actually steering componts, check for straightness. check your bends. i think you your out of alingment, ill bet money on it.

but the car is sagging like 3-4 inches
like , between the tire and the fender theres only like 1 and a half or 2 inches.
edit:a;alinment could ( and more than likey is ) the reason the car seems to pull to the right.but im pretty sure thats not the reason its sagging this bad.

Did you check the air in your front right? Aside from that, also check your front sway bar. Mine car was leaning towards the right as well, and it was because the left side of my front sway bar was disassembled (don't ask me how the heck that happened), but luckily all of the bolts/bushings/nuts were still in there, so I just put it back together.

if it isnt the the sway bars what else should i check? whould the springs or shocks be shot? and which would be more likely?

i had the same problem in my car.....after i got in an accident and they fixed it all up my alignment was off too...luckily the car was under warrenty though......front passenger spring was sagging, so i had the dealership replace it and do an alignment........now the car is good as new

my car was doing the same thing, pulling to the right really hard. I switched the tires on the front with the tires on the back and the problem went away. The tires that i put on the front were really new. I suggest trying to switch your front and back tires if that doesn't work mabe get new tires on the front. Anyways now that i have bad tires in the back i have been doing burnouts everywhere. [img]graemlins/banana.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/banana.gif[/img] Goodluck :D
