All of these were checked already.

Esp if the car is leaking oil from the head area. Oil sometimes travels down the engine's seams and right onto the mounts --- leading to premature failure. If this is true, you'll need to fix the leak, too.

Good luck!

I'm 99.9% sure it doesn't have any oil leaks, but I will look into this too when I'm checking everything out. Thanks for the tip.

Leaking crankshaft pulley seals can cause this, too. FWIW.

Good luck!

Jeez these threads get off track.

Your problem is in the rear tires, 99%.

Tire pressure, size, brand, age, and wear must be identical.

If all these check out, you have a defective tire.

Swap tires left to right, if the pull changes direction its the tires.

I assure you 100% a bad motor mount will not cause your symptom.

Pun intended?

If it's a defective tire, and they're still not worn I think you can get new ones under warranty.

Ok, sorry for the miss-direction. Good to know.

This motor mount issue has these symptoms in other cars. Really... 8^)
