I have a '82 Camry with 206K miles on it. Been a good car except that a couple of months ago it started pulling to the right a lot. I have new tires, balanced and had the front end aligned and it still pulls to the right. I normally do all my own mechanic work, but haven't done any on this car, yet. A friend of mine said my problem might be a bent tie rod. Does this sound plausable? Any ideas/help would be appreciated. Richard
It seems like the mechanic would have noticed a bent tie rod while doing the alignment work. A problem caused by a bent tie rod would probably not be intermittent. If the tie rod end is just worn out and working itself loose then maybe the problem would come and go. Inspect the tie rods yourself and see if they seem loose or damaged. You might also check that the right front brake caliper is releasing completely.
