Alignment problem ...
Alignment problem ...
I installed full coilover last friday, and i went for an alignment today cause the car was kind of pulling to the side when going straight. After i got the car back, i drove home and it felt the same as before alignment. And tonight, i drove again and i notice that sometimes it can be straight, and sometimes it pulls to the side really hard if i let loose of the steering wheel .. like i could actually run onto the curb if i'm on the right lane. Just want to know if this is the problem with the alignment still or not, thanks. (BTW, i was there watching the guy do the alignment and got the spec sheet. The guy told me it was really bad before the alignment. It took like 40 mins to finish the alignment .. so yeah. Thanks)

Post the alignment printout, or at least the numbers on it. Sounds like the camber is off and you're catching the road crown
sometimes you will have a little drift and your car will still have spec numbers. there's a range that it can fall into, but you're describing a pull.
I can't really let go of my steering wheel for that long because my car will drift to the left, but my car has also been wrecked and it was the drivers side that was smashed in. hope you get it figured out, I'm sure someone on here can lead you in the right direction.

lol, pulls hard thats bad... if it were to pull softly, i was gonna say thats normal, seeing as how roads are all built at an angle. So the water sheets off and to the right. Not alot but enough to make even the straightest aligned cars pull slightyl
Thanks for the input guys!
I went for a longer drive today (about 30 mins or so on the highway)
It seems to be fine now .. no more pulling or whatever.
I can finally drive straight .. not like i was drunk .. lol
