Pulling to the left ?
replaced rotors and going to re-balance the tires today....in lew of that what else could be the issue.....and also a light vibration???? all comments and theories welcome.....just as to save myself a little time when trouble shooting....please keep in mind I have been driving a JEEP TJ for the last 5 years..LOL

x2 - inspecting the tires for uneven tread wear or damage (ie: broken belt internally - spin wheel/tire on the car, looking for wobbles etc in the tread), then swapping tires would be my first step at diagnosing the problem.
A light vibration would make me suspect a damaged or delaminating tire if the balance is ok.

I don't believe this is true. Unless someone specifys it, it is not INTENTIONALLY done by the factory or a front end tech.
Think about it....what happens when the pitch of the road goes the other way.

How many miles?
is it drifting or pulling to the left?
At 65 mph how long would it take to start crossing the lines in the road?
I would check tire pressure first.
Then I would swap the front tires side to side as long as they are not directional.
to see if you are getting radio add l tire pull.
Then have your alignment checked.
If all that checks out have a gm tech check ed checkout the intermediate shaft and
Steering column.
I know some will doubt this but my car was pulling left.
changed tires side to side helped a little.
Then had two alignments done which helped but still was not right.
Had a clicking in the steering. Column was bad
After the tech replaced it it has been driving like a new car.
I myself would not have believed a worn out steering column would for this.

OK rebalances tires they check OK
however the mounting on the direction is not correct so that will be my next step.....
wheel bearings and tie rods Check OK
balance Checks OK
gimme a few days to track this down and Ill get back to you
