Alignment Update

Well,

At 400 miles dealer had to align front end due to pull to the right.

Camber and toe were really off.

4000 miles now and both front tires are beginning to feather and cup on the outside edges.

I called dealership and advised the service advisor that this is unacceptable at this mileage and that I would bring the car in this coming week for a front end check.

I also advised them that I am not giong to pay for new tires on a car with only 4000 miles and that if they find the alignment is off, they would have to cover tires as well.

Will give you update this week after it goes in.

If dealer does not cooperate, I will contact the regional manager and get him or her involved as I have never owned a car that needed new front tires at 4000 miles.

I am kinda upset at this as it's a major pain in the ***.

My car pulls slightly to the right too. To avoid uneven tire wear I am forced to drive aggressively with hard cornering, heavy acceleration, aggressive braking, and long spirited drives through the hills. (respectful of other drivers and safety of course....fun driving doesn;t mean dangerous driving) SO far tire wear has been pretty even.

allignment

Hello,
My European production civic sedan also pulls right. I went to dealer two times with no solution. The version in Europe is same but head lights. It also has some noises coming from back suspension especially at slow speeds

Yep, the pulling to the right is pretty much a problem with many people's civic.

4000+ miles later after dealer aligned my car, still pulls to the right, very annoying at the least.
