Problem with Alignment

well yesterday i went to get my alignment done and after it was done the car went straight up to 30mph and beyond that it started puling to the right too much. and i checked my tire and they are feathered on the tread to the right. so im guessing its my tires now since they been riding misalgined a while now. my tire aslo squeal when i take a right turn . any one have any ideas.

similar problems

I recently took it into the dealership for some rubbing circular noise in my drivers side rear... thinking it was a bearing that went out. They said its not that but its something to do with the alignment of the suspension since its lowered. they said the tires are wearing uneven and are 'cupping'. they said it wasnt lowered correctly but it has all the right things in place for lowering. its been lowered for 4 years and no problems until now.

they said take it to the person who did the lowering and have them realign it? I dont know what this means. any ideas?

wut the... that cant be right, if you do have all the right lowering necessities (camber kit, proper dampeners, etc.), it shouldnt be a problem. If the problem is really cupping, check your shock absorber they're ok. also get it realigned again to make sure everythis is proper. (which brings up, why couldnt they do the alignment?) thats just my 2 cents

well if your tires are already ruined, no alignment will fix them.
