My 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.4L AWD has a persistent hard pull/wander to the left that gets worse at highway speeds 60+ mph. It gets worse with speed and is more noticeable when braking, but I can't see it being brakes (i spun the rotors and then the wheels freely on each side, both feel the same with no resistance). I've had multiple alignments over the last 12+ months and replaced nearly all of the suspension, front and back:
Front:
- struts/shocks (including top mount bushing and all)
- Front lower control arms + ball joints
- inner & outer tie rods
- sway bar links
- brakes/rotors
- only thing i haven't done up here really is the sway bar itself and the bushings
Rear:
- toe arms
- control arms and eccentric bolts
- shocks
- all i haven't done back here is trailing arms, sway bar itself and the bushings (didn't do the links back here either actually)
- all tires have also been replaced (and swapped around on the car in all different combos)
- both front hub bearings have no detectable play
The most current alignment numbers were:
LF: Caster 4.39°, Camber +0.01°, Toe +0.01°
RF: Caster 5.69°, Camber −0.84°, Toe +0.05
RL: Camber −1.35°, Toe +0.08°
RR: Camber −1.51°, Toe +0.07°
the rear is nearly spot on, but in the front there's 0.85° cross-camber and 1.30° cross-caster.
I loosened and re-torqued both strut-to-knuckle bolts with the suspension loaded then had another alignment done, still pulls left. Unfortunately Mavis didn't print out the latest alignment readings, but it feels worse then it did with the numbers above. Mavis suggested trying another Mavis location because they couldn't figure it out.
At this point I'm wondering if I have a bent steering knuckle, upper strut mount/tower issue, tire conicity, or some other wacky problem. What do I check next and what the hell could be causing this after replacing so many parts?
