Ever since I dropped my car I can't get it to go straight, no matter how many different places align the car. I do have the spc camber kit all the way around, and now it pulls to the right. The place I went to said everything is in specs and it shouldnt pull but yet it still does. Would me sitting in the car while they do the adjusting help?

Any ideas?

No, unless you weigh like 500 pounds.

Can you post the alignment specs? Just curious. It will tell us more.

OK here are the specs

Left front right front
.1 deg. camber 0.0 camber
3.2 deg. caster 3.4 caster
.01 deg. toe -.01 toe
front
.01 total toe
.01 steer ahead

left rear right rear
-.5 camber -.5 camber
.06 toe .09 toe
rear
.15 total toe
-.02 thrust angle

In the front, your toe spec has both wheels pointing to the right at .01 degree. But it's really not that much of toe, so I wonder why it would pull like that.

Then again, the caster on the passenger side is great than the left, so combined with the toe, I guess it's enough to pull to the right.

Sometimes your tires will do it. Where did u take it to??

fsttyms1

the alignment specs are fine. as for whats causing the car to pull, it could be a wheel bearing, tranny, or tires

blk_tl

Even if the tires are new???

Benzo I took it to southwest alignment

beebus

how much did you pay for an alignment? just curious

Brake caliper possibly binding?

Just take the car back to them.. My had to bring my car twice and it was determined my back tires were a lil cambered so it pulled. They should be a ble to tell you whats up. sw alignment has been great to me.

Define "new"? It only took a couple thousand miles (if that) on my tires before they were ruined by my camber/toe being bad (before I got the camber kit on). And it wasn't even that far off cause they adjusted it as best they could..something like -1.2 w/ H&R Sports and Tokico Illuminas..worth checking out anyway, swap the tires and see what happens.

GUYS, it can be as simple as the roads themselves

or it can be the tires w/ uneven wear, but as far as my experience goes i have NEVER been in a car that doesnt pull to either side because the roads, EVERYWHERE, believe it or not...are pretty damm slanted

Its probably your tires, ask them if they can do a straighttrack roadforce balance. The newer Hunter machines can tell you where to put each wheel to get the least pull or vibration. I recently bought a set of Yoko AVS's and I had to balance them three times before they stopped pulling. The third time I used the straighttrack and it worked great.

100 mi. on the tires....

What's a place that will do straighttrack balance.

Bolamite

Its just a function of the machine. If they have a newer Hunter machine(balancing machine) they can do it. Any time I have a car come in with vibration or pull I do it and I have never had a comeback. Ask whoever you take it to if they can check the roadforce of your tires. Straighttrak is an upgrade to roadforce, it tells you what your roadforce is and how much pull the car will have with the tires in different positions, any good shop should be able to do roadforce but they might not have a straighttrack machine.

any other ideas? I had one set of tires trashed bc of alignment I dont want another.

If you don't have non-unidirectional tires, then switch them around and see if there's a difference. If there is, then you know it's the tires.
