I was in a fender bender, my H3 ate an F150. I was able to drive after just, no airbags deployed. His F150 was not so lucky.

However, since then it has started to pull to the right. It pulls harder the faster I go. It’s been aligned, the lower ball joint is sound and I fixed a weak upper ball joint.

The other day I was on the highway and heard a clang and I could no longer maintain 70. The best I could do without having the pedal to the floor was 45.

I had the transmission and torque converter checked and they are fine.

I just replaced the wheel bearing and it’s better, but it still pulls right. I was able to get to 60, I did not push it further, but it really could not accelerate up a hill.

Anything else I should look at? I was think the CV joint or the universal joint on the front driveshaft, but the seem fine.

I am open to suggestions.

 

"I fixed a weak upper ball join" please tell us how you did that with an H3?

You bent the frame, or frame mounts to the U/L Control Arms. Who aligned it?

 

I replaced the upper control arm without any issue. I really question whether the frame is actually bent. They claimed they put it on a frame machine, but nothing changed and they did not charge me.

 

Post pics of your left & right front corners standing front.

 

So far so good. Was it aligned after the UC was replaced?

 

Sorry for the late update:

I replaced the wheel hub and then had the alignment redone. The old hub was grinding and the alignment was off even though I had just had it done.

After this, the car tracks straight as an arrow.

I have noticed the passenger CV axle needs to be replaced, so I ordered a new one.
