“My 1998 Isuzu Amigo has pulled to the right and vibrates at highway speeds since I purchased it. It has been in the shop seven (?) times and if anything, is worse than when I purchased it. The first time I brought it in for the pulling problem, the service advisor (melissa) told me it was supposed to pull to the right, because the four-wheel drive stuff is in the right hub . Subsequent trips yielded no fix with the service department saying that they had; done a front-end alignment, balanced the wheels, rotated the wheels, and put on new tires. …”
