quick question please dont move
hi i know this is supposed to goto suspension...
but its slow there
i just came back from wheel works because my car was hooking to the right even after alignment.
the guys said it was because of my caster... true?
my car was hooking to the left before i got new tires...
edit...
they just called me..
wheelworks: yeah we found out that ur car has uneven wear on the tires...
me: how did that happen?
ww: not balanced correctly or wrong inflation...
me: so that means my tires have premature wear on them and i need to get my tires replaced.
ww: umm. umm. let me check with manager on that and ill call u back.
time to find a new shop thats not full of incompetent people...
so pissed.

Caster would be weird.. though I'm no alignement expert. The best way to describe caster is by visualizing a shopping cart's front wheels, which is negative caster. Its mainly used for directional stability(as in driving forward), rather than side stability. Thats why it sounds werid that WheelWorks would say that... again though I'm no expert. Maybe the dood was testing you, or didnt know his job. I'm leaning towards the latter...
Tell those guys to align it for now, and you'll get some tires later.

Rep Power: 0 I would switch your two front tires around, you could have tred sepration (spelling?). If your car pull the oppsite direction its your tires other wise yes it your balance. Rember your tires can look brand new on the outside but be bad on the inside.
