so just yesterday i did a 5 tire rotation. this morning on my way to work i am getting sever pull to the right as i was driving. just the day before my jeep drove straight as an arrow. i know my tires need to be balanced as they are WAY out but what could cause this? its almost as though the front right is rubbing causing it to spin slower and pull. can this be caused form over torquing the lugs?

here is the pic of how i rotated them

Did you check your tire pressure? Might be a cause. I know you mentioned it did not pull before and was thinking maybe brake caliper sticking.

Yep double checked my pressure and still at 26. The only one I had to add air to was the spare once it had the weight of the jeep on it.

I'm going to double check my toe tomorrow cause maybe that is playing a part into it somehow?

Mine did this the first time I rotated mine. It went away after about a week of driving so idk if it was just how the tread wore or what it was.

It's weird since it's the first time in the almost 15,000 miles and 4+ other rotations. Never happened before so it confused me.

I think I may know what it is but I will report back tomorrow once I test it out

Out of balance won't cause a pull, just a shimmy, shake, vibration, whatever flavor you choose lol. Tire pressure was already taken out of the equation and it didn't pull before the rotation so I think it would be safe to eliminate alignment. hmmmm idk :idontknow:

I think I may hve a bent wheel. I know last trip out about a month ago I hit my right rear (which is now my front right) pretty decent on a rock. It wasn't causin any issues when it was in the back but it may now up front. I'm going to swap the spare in tomorrow and hope that it fixes it. If it does I just need to order a new wheel.
