Car pulling itself
Car pulling itself I have a 99 trans am ws6. my alignment is perfect and the mechanics say that the bushings and all are good but it will pull itself hard to the left mostly and sometimes right, the steering feels loose. any suggestions?
My car tracks like a bitch like ski23 mentioned. There are certain parts of certain roads where I will literally go from white line to white line in between the lanes but at other times it tracks true.
Braking make it worse.

What are your alignment specs and how many miles are on the car? I know the shop is saying your alignment is perfect but what are they saying is perfect. If all of your steering components are tight (inner and outer tie rods and rack itself), and you are sure tires are not the culprit it has to be alignment. Zero toe or toe out will make your tires want to follow lines in the road. Also not enough caster will make the steering feel "light" and make the car want to wander...
Another thing that can cause these problems are worn hub bearings. If the wheel bearings are originals and you have over 80k on them, they are probably worn out. With the wheels in the air can you physically rock the wheel at all? There should be no movement at all.
