If you bent something, the alignment checks would have seen it. When I bent a tie rod my truck was goofy. If it's pulling to one side all the time, it could be a stuck brake piston, maybe. I would say shocks b/c of tire wear but shocks don't make the truck pull. Could also be a hub bearing thats bad, anything that would cause drag. Hope that helps some, and good luck with it.

if it was a hub bearing wouldnt it make a grinding noise?
all the "bad" bearing problems i have dealt with or fixed were figured out cause it was real noisey.
i could change the shocks, hell probably needs it by now anyways.
if a stuck brake piston i should be eating thru pads on that one side more i would think.

A bad hub assembly, won't always make a grinding or a roar. The last one I replaced on my truck didn't make a sound, it just wore out a Nitto for me. But in your quest, you could very well have a bad hub, a bad tire or even a worn control arm. Check for up and down play in your hub, or have your tires Road Force Balanced to see if you indeed have a bad tire.

good to hear folks, i was thinking about rotating the tires in case of a bad tire.
Thanks Folks, will put these things to the test and report back.
torque wrench, you never let me down, thanks again!
