Ok here's my problem. Sometimes actually a lot of times when coming to a stop (braking or engine braking it does it for both) the car pulls to the right. Sometimes the left but mostly the right. Now I don't think it's a alignment issue because I tried taking my hands off the wheel while driving and it stays straight. I don't think it's the brakes because I tested it by doing some hard braking stops and there was no pulling. And also cause it does it with engine braking too. The ONLY thing left is my strut bar. Is there ANY possibility for that being the problem? Because I don't remember having this issue pre strut bar it pretty much started after. Or is it the roads suck here and being that the suspension is stiffer, it just experiences bump steer more? It's rather annoying because I have to fight with the steering all the time when it happens! It pretty much only happens slowing down but like when I approach slow speeds like 15mph or lower.

 

strut bar will not do that.

 

x2...

 

the are crowns in the road to move water away from the middle of the street which curve to the sides. its normal

 

But what about the fact that it started doing this after I installed the strut bar? Is it cause it being more stiffer make it more sensitive to bumps? None of the other cars in my family do this... And I'm pretty sure it didn't before the strut bar.

 

New York roads suck!

 

Amen to that. That's why I refuse to lower.

 

Did you tighten the strut bolts to spec? Are they loose?

 

brakes, diff, tires

idk.

 

Strut bar won't change almost ANY part of your driving dynamics because of where the strut towers are.

Strut bar is a 'bling' mod on Cobalts.

It is more than likely the crown of the road, and nothing to worry about.

 

Troof!

I has one for the bling!

 

The crown in the road will pull the car to x side that the crown is angled at.

 

More so on Cobalts, because they have(for the most part) lower than normal profile tires, and are a bit wide for an econo car.

Wider tires will track the road more.

 

torque steer?

 

Slowing down?

No.

 

 

2.4's have it.

 

I mean't slowing down steer...

Ok I'm done being funny...

my car does the same thing...

 

You have to have torque to get that

 

Hardy har har.

I make more torque stock than you do tuned.

Anyone else wanna have an e-***** match in his thread?

**** grow up and if you have nothing to add, don't say anything.

For the record:

2.4s have torque steer.

 

It was a ******* joke you e-thug dont be a bitch and omg you have a tc holy **** I envy you! NOT
And yes I know any car can get torque steer.

 

Yeah you have a nice day to

 

flat tire

 

Now, that is funny

 

My old car did this and it ended up being a braking problem. Really it could be alot of things even under inflated tires. The strut bar probably not unless you installed it in the wrong location Highly unlikely
