EVERYTIME i get an alignment i have to go back 3-7 times (yep.. i have had to ge back 7 friggin times) to get my steering wheel straight.. why is it that no one can manage to get my wheel straight..
can i possiably fix this myself cuz im so friggin sick of going back to the dealer or tire store.. i flipflop cuz they both screw it up every time..
i know i cant do the alignment myself.. but as far as gettin the wheel straight.. can i do that.. besides the fact that i hate having to go back time and time again.. theirs no straight roads where i can get goin over 40 within like 15 miles of where i get it done.. so it takes like a week just to get an alignment finnished.. and by the time im done im usuially so ticked off that i have to bring someone with me so that i dont start throwing punches..

Was this comment really necessary ??

OH WAIT... I don't want to be a Smart***


to actually attempt to be helpful. I believe getting a computerized alignment is the best thing to do.

also, there has to be something wrong with the car cuasing it to go out of alignment so quickly. Find that and fix that first. Look over your entire suspension components.

Its not nessasarryily the car going out of alignment or that the tech setting the alignment is doing a poor job or the equipment hes using isnt in calibration. I do alignments EVERY day and its sometimes hard to get a PERFECTLY straight steering wheel. But if you imagine the steering wheel as a clock, if after i set the alignemnt center is anywhere between 11:30 - 12:30 im happy. The wheel being crooked dont mean the alignment is off, just that the steering wheel isnt centered. But on the other hand a crooked wheel Can mean that the alignment is off too

is it 'pulling' or 'wandering' when you drive down the road??? and also pay attention to the crown in the road the car will naturaly 'drift' to the low side of the road.

its the steering wheel that was off...

and as for the throwing punches thing... imagin having to go back and wait in line ever day after working 9 hours just to deal with the same idiots that dont know what they are doing time and time again.. it gets old.. and it gets old REAL fast.. my car is the only thing ive ever owned that was worth anything.. so when someone who is suposed to make it better makes it worse.. yeah.. i tend to get a lil moody..

tfnaaf is wise. if it goes down the road straight and the steering wheel is not straight then the tech is a retard or just fugin lazy
