Alignment question

[bluecruiser]

Just had my 100 aligned and all was well. Then I did some fairly rocky wheeling and now my vehicle pulls to the right.

I am noticing when traveling on level road about 40 to 50 mph the vehicle barely pulls to the right. But when I accelerate hard from a stop the vehicle pulls very hard to the right.

Could this be something more than alignment? i.e. stuck brake caliper?

I checked the wheels after driving a while and I am not noticing any access heat from a possible dragging brake.

Thanks in advance..

did you 'air down' at all? the tire pressures read the same? .....starting with the simplest question

tire pressure is fine...I guess my question is, can your alignment be messed up by wheeling? Does it happen very often? Is something else wrong with my vehicle if the alignment gets messed up from wheeling?

Thanks

Answer: Yes

In my 80 it seems like about every other run and alignment is needed. Twisted wheel, pulling, etc. Frustrating.

In my 100 it seems like I get about 6 runs to an alignment, though one bad run has caused it to go on one occassion.

That Pyeatt Draw run you suffered damage on is a honey. Rod ate is front diff in the '99 on the trip we went on. I'll be going back in the 100 and leading a run. With 2 100-series down on that trail...I'm hoping three times is the charm (and praying my added lift, triple lockers, and tire size is enough so I don't fall pray ) Pyeatt is not a cake walk. It's a serious trail that has damage lurking in MANY spots.
