My 1995 Honda Accord LX has 107,000 miles and is in pretty good shape, but it is pulling to the left and the steering wheel shakes - especially after accelerating over 50 mph. What could be causing this? The tires have about 40,000 on them, but have good tread left. Could it be a tire balancing, air pressure, alignment? I'm not sure. Would appreciate your input before taking it to Sears for service. Thanks Ken

Hi Ken,

The pulling could be the Alignment.

The shaking could be from incorrect ballance bad tie rod end. I would also check the tires. Just jack the vehicle up so wheel is off ground and spin the tire. Either using your hand or looking at the tread watch for any deformity. While vehicle is jacked up check the tie rods. Just try moving them. If they move a lot then they are bad.
