    You're probably rubbing your tire on something in a bad way.

    I'd recommend having it towed to a place that can align it properly. I recommend Samaritan Tire in Minnetonka.

    My 6 cylinder makes 1250 lb/ft of torque.
    Another great resource is Jeff the Alignment Guy, he can also do corner weighting, etc.

    You're going to want to make sure you've got the other issues ironed out before you bring it to him.
