GEN 2 Pulls hard to left when in 4-wheel drive

[JefferyGT]

Does this have anything to do with the iwe check valve?

I know there was an updated part.

Well I got it fixed. It’s driving perfectly now. Talk about a puzzle factory. My left toe and castor needed a little adjustment but that was not it. Radial pull. Because of the size of the tires and swapping winter tires out rom summer tires. It took a few hours but they literally had to swap tires around until it drove straight. It turned out that my left rear tire was out. So they switched tires until it went straight. Hard to believe but that’s what it was. I can understand why some dealerships do not want to do this. It takes time and is a frustrating process. But I kid u not. My truck is an arrow now.

I have the Torsen, and my truck does not pull left or right. The steering feels heavier in 4A or 4H but it does not pull.

Just started having this issue recently, truck pulls to the right hard on acceleration. After reading your comment, it all made sense. I just had one brand new tire installed in the rear due to an accident a couple of months ago, then soon after did an oil change and tire rotation and thats when it started. I am guessing the new tire made its way to the front during the rotation and the difference in wear between the new tire and the old one is what is causing it.

Yes. I found it hard to believe that radial pull could do that as I had no issues with my gen 1 raptor going though several sets of tires. Proper tire rotation is what it took to stop my pull.

Yes I noticed that also the steering in a raptor is twice as heavy as a normal drive. I kind of like that though. Somehow the truck just seems more stable

There is a lot of torque steer when the front wheels are driven. If there was any crown on the road, that could be causing the truck to pull.

Yeah completely flat ground. I drove in a mall parking lot and the truck would damn near do circles on its own. The harder I accelerate the worse the pull is.

I just bought my 2nd gen 3 days ago and it does the same exact thing as soon as I put it on 4x4 and go over 10mph the steering wheel flies to the left uncontrollably

There is some torque steer with the torsen, but it shouldt be violent. You'll def feel it tho in the steering wheel

Read up on the forum, lots of good stuff here. You should make a new post introducing yourself before everyone thinks you drive a prius

As for the torque steer, check your tire load ranges. It can be dramatically worse if you somehow have a load C tire on one side and a load E tire on the other. It has been found here a few times by this same symptom. Also if you're on pavement don't use 4x4, use 4a, but assuming that's what you meant
