    My car is having the same issue but I was told it was the steering rack...how much can I believe this? I haven't replaced the control arms/bushings/tie rods yet but they're on their way

      Could be a several things, but I've never heard of a rack causing this. For me it was my 2 month old tires. Apparently, it's not uncommon for defective tires to cause a pull. Also, if they are worn in a certain way.

        Definitely not tires, my car is shaking like a Carribean woman's ass. I'll get under it when I get a chance but I don't have time right now.

            That could be out of balance or out of round tires or a bent wheel. If the wheels aren't hubcentric and aren't a close fit on the centering rings it may be impossible to balance the wheels off the car. Other possibilities include worn out shocks, which will make the slightest problem with the wheels/tires very obvious.

            If you feel vibration in the steering wheel, the front tires/suspension is the cause. But if you feel it in the seat it is from the rear tires/suspension.
            The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
