So did it start going left when you put the new tires on in May? Or was it doing it prior to the tire change? CHIP

Did you check the rollout on the tires??? Maybe a wheel got bent on install?

If you get the chance this year yet I would try to swap the tires side to side and see what effect you end up with. You may have one tire that is slightly different in circumfrence than the other. Did you have this issue when the tires were first installed? If you see a difference then I think you have a tire issue. Just my

Twisted/turned axle tube? Weak shock?
I'd be looking here as well.

ya know, I did not check the rollout on the tires (MTs 29.5 X 10.5w) and the shocks are 10+ years old, At Norwalk this year, one pass its in the air and to the left, next pass, the tires slip. This is get worse as the year when on, But after looking at the pic, I did not realize just how bad it was going left.
mickeys are the worst on rollout. you have to measure, you can't go by the #'s on them.

John, Checking the rollout should be the next thing you do. Or you can just swap em side to side at the track and see if it goes the other way. Then you know the tires are the issue. If that checks out fine, then start looking for twisted or bent parts, lol. CHIP

Checkin the rollout is easy and certainly won't hurt. However, I have had a mismatched rollout in the past and this does not appear to be the case here. When I experienced the rollout issue I had to [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] the wheel to get the car to go straight when I was driving it through the pits or down the track. And it definitely did not leave like what you are showing here. If you are not cockin the wheel then I would say your issue is elsewhere. A bad shock could definitely cause this. I have piloted a car with a bad shock before and it left hard to one side. Also check your rod ends if you are running ladder bars or a 4 link. I think you had bars if I remember correctly. After all that you need to get it on the scales. Hope you get it straightened out.

If not a tire issue, the only way a car goes that hard left on the backtires, is pre-load, it has too much weight on the RR tire, causing the car to drive left. Now too much pre-load can be from shocks, bent parts, worn heim ends, weight moved around, any number of things.....However, I would look at tires and wheelie bars first. Misadjusted wheelie bars will also steer the car.
