Alignment Issues
Elusive Turtle, my offer still stands.
Also I have print outs of the before and after settings of my last 2 alignments. Perhaps you can compare with yours.

The car isn't being driven at this moment. It's park at my garage power steering pump seized. I'm just finding this s*** is getting confusing and out of hand lol. Like it confuses me how a mitsu tech can tell me their is nothing wrong with the vehicle even after I showed him my alignment sheets and one of my set of tires. The weird thing is after I put on new tires I had a hard time finding 205/50/16 so we put on some 205/55/16 used tires just to drive the vehicle and since then I've seen less tire wear in the time I've put those tires on. Lol it just bottles my mind with this car.
Where did you check for the tyres ?
I got my current set at Canadian Tire. I also got quotes from Dani's OK Tire in Canotek road and Frisby's on Somerset. Anyway if you want to meet to compare cars and notes let me know, you have my contact details.

well i dont really know whats going on in your situacion but i had a similar problem with my 04. i ran thru about 4 tires all stripped down to the wire of the inside of the tire. all the tires i keeped buying were used, what i finally did was i changed my rims to 17 eclipse rimes all new tires 215/45/17 filled with halogen and rims balanced and then aligned. For the most part i think it was the balancing of the rims. and i honestly think it was the balancing cause i had taken the prvious rims from one car and just threw them on mine. aand thats when i started to have that problem.
after the new rims and tires still to dis day no problems yet and this was about 8 months ago. maybe this might be able to help you or if anything give you an idea

Was doing my power steering today and it drove me ****ing crazy lol. I was at the point of sledge hammering the car -.-' and yeah cranswick I'll try and scan it or some s*** if I figure it out. lol
never ending battle eh? my pump sounds like a super charger, but i'm too cheap to replace it, i'll live with the sounds until "it" hits the fan.
still want to see that alignment

is it leaking from the gasket or the water pipe? you gotta REALLY make sure the old gasket is GONE, mine took about a half hour with a razor blade and some super fine sand paper.

Alright so I do apologize if there is a thread already with this in it but I kinda need help for this issue. So let start off by saying I'm on my fourth set of rear tires in 2 months. I had taken my RA to a garage and the mechanic looked at it and said it was rear control arm bushings. So of course what did I do took it to my mechanic and got him to not only change the bushings but the actual control arms with new bushings. So two weeks later two popped tires and me waiting for a tow. Got two new tires put on and on my way. I then took my car to my mechanic today got an alignment done for the first reason being steering wheel was crooked second the mechanic that had done my last tires said that the camber was off. So my mechanic did the alignment and showed me the sheet. My camber was off by 0.53 and my tow was off my 0.82!!!! Madness I must say. According to him all my suspension and alignment components are pushed to the max!?! and can no longer be aligned better so now i am sitting and 0.18 camber and 0.35 tow so I'm still going to be wearing tires. Now my question is does anyone know of a place I am able to get a Rear camber kit as well as a Tow kit like the Front camber kit RRM has which I will be picking up. If anyone has any detailed or suggestions for me I am more than appreciative. As well I would like to say again I apologize for posting this thread if there is one already. Thanks guys
