maybe just the steering wheel needs to be aligned

is your car lowered?

Do you have stock wheels with OE size tires?

azian21485

doesn't matter what size rims or tires he's running...


i know this sounds like a stupid fix but check your tire pressures

are you the first owner and are 100% sure there's no frame damage?

hmmm...that's all i could think of..goodluck though

you notice how we take our cars to a shop, then they do work without really knowing if the work is gonna fix the problem. And they do it anyway


thas how they kick ya in tha ballz

check for uneven tire wear as well

$80 for alignment wow thats really expensive
here in south tx its around $20-$30

do you drive a lot of passengers around? i wonder what the maximum weight load is.

If you have performance tires that can only travel in one direction, you can try flip-flopping the tires from side to side. It might work.

That's amazing.

In NJ it's never below $65.

The tires are prolly following the road, if you have directionals.

$80 is cheap up in the northeast for an alignment. i don't have it lowered and my rims are 16's with toyos.. they arn't old enough to be replaced either. i'm starting to think my shops machine is off. i'm gonna look into the steering wheel centering possibility also. i've only had the rig a couple months. 97 2.2 5 spd. i'll be adding some mods soon. i'm not into the cosmetic mods but more the hp add ons and suspension upgrades

thats the one thing i hated especially with the grooves

My local acura dealer got one of these machines, and it did wonders in correcting my pull problems:

There is a locate function on the website to tell you who has the StraightTrak.

check the distance between the 2 wheels (front and rear wheel) on each side and see if the measurement is that same.

BEETROOT

sounds stupid... but did you check the tire pressure?

Motohip

Don't be offended when I ask you this, but...are you husky? Cause usualy if they see someone who's big, they'll put sandbags in the drivers seat and then allign it. If they didn't do that then the allignment will be off once you get in. Just a thought, don't be mad.

BEETROOT

you are so polite about it.
