Maniac01 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 My wife and I are getting a little irritated with the steering wheel pull we have in her 08' AWD Edge. When we drive at any speed, the car wheel pulls to the right and requires us to hold the wheel over to keep it straight. We have tried pretty much everything. Tire rotations, new tires, proper tire inflation, 3 alignments at two seperate shops, (including a Ford garage, it was out the first time and needed a driverside tie rod end) and new brake rotors and pads. To me it seems to be an alignment issue, but the shops are telling me that our Edge is within Ford's specifications. Does anyone have any suggestions?

If it's aligned properly, has anyone checked out the power steering unit? it may be having pressure balance issues causing it to pump in one direction more than another.

It may well be within Ford specs, but alignment could still be the problem. Get a read out from the alignment machine and post the readings. Then I'll be able to tell you if alignment is still the problem. The critical angle that will cause more pull is caster. The vehicle will always pull towards the negative caster side. The second area is the rear alignment --- Anyway, get a readout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKS Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Search on this site for this. I had the exact same issue with my 08 limited. There is a tsb on this that makes for an easy fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
