Vette got aligned again today -- car has left pull...
They fixed the rear toe problem from last time, the car is 100% dialed in:
-0.4" front camber, 0 toe, 2.7/3.3 caster.
-0.5" rear camber, 1/8" toe-in
But they found some problems. Bad bushings on the steering ram. The control valve has some play in it.
The front tires are thrashed, cupped on the outside, from autocross last season.
They think the left-hand pull is either the PS problems or the tires... what do you guys think?

If that 2.7/3.3 caster figure represents 2.7 left and 3.3 right it will likely pull left. And it should have a little toe, not zero.

Bad tires can lead to pull, when our lower balljoints failed we drove around with insane toe and camber tottaly out of wack, once we aligned it it still drove irradicly because the tires had a diffrent pattern worn into them due to all the rubbing from the toe and camber, we were also told our power steering needs a rebuild when we got it aligned, im going to order the rebuild kit from van steel sometime this week, hope this helps you out.
