alignment question 911

Ok , went to the dealer and did a 4 wheels alignment, the guy worked on it, he only could get the 2 front parrallel to a certain angle because the left side was max out he said, my steering wheel was still not center, so he told me he can adjust the steering wheel. which he did, everything was fine, very happy that my steering wheel was straighten out.. drove it for a week, very careful not to hit any curve. then after just 2 weeks, my steering wheel is off the left again. What could be wrong guys??

PS: before the alignment, every time i brake, the steering wheels tend to pull to the left. after the alignment, it didn't happen , but know it happened again.... so frustrated....

Thank you guys...


I have a 98 3.0CL

When you brake hard it veers to the left??

I heard that it could be your rotors needing to be grinded down. My alignment is perfect, but my rotors are in desperate need of being grinded down, especially the insides of my front rotors. So when I brake hard....I veer slightly to the left too. My alignment is perfect though. YOu should try that.....take off your rotors, take them to like pep boys or something, and they'll grind em for like $10...that SHOULD fix it....

Hey! i had the same problem before. Evne though i did the alignment and re resurfaced the rotor at the same time, the alignment was improved, but when i brake the steering still shakes like crazy and kind of steer off some direction. So turn out to be a super warped rotor, and they, the acura dealer, thought they can just resurface, so i had to get new rotors. Now everything is perfect ! THough my stock suspension is really shitty! makes me feel like driving a boat!

Travel

When you run out of travel on a Honda alignment, something is bent. It doesn't take much to bend stuff up on a Honda. If you ever hit a curb, it's bent.
