Alignment

Post by Bri94GS »

My way was pulling to the left, so i brought it to get an alignment today. When they finished, I have a note on my slip that says "CASTER ADJUSTMENT IS MAXED, POSSIBLE BENT LOWER CONTROL ARM, THE CAR MAY DRIFT TO THE RIGHT", but yet it still drifts to the left...not really sure what the lower controller arm is...any suggestions? thanks

My first response would be did they actually do the alignment? If they did it was a waste of your money. the didnt correct the alignment and they didnt fix the needed repairs so once you replace the control arm you'll just have to get the car aligned again. :shrug:

You may have a radial pull. A tire could possibly be the problem. A temporary fix, if the alignment was done correctly, rotate the tires. If it still pulls, than you need to start looking at new suspension parts. Did they give you an alignment readout?

Moved to the forum that deals with suspension and not engine performance.
