Wheel Alignment and possible issue with my Evo X 2010 GSR, pulls to the left

Hey guys, just wanted to post the wheel alignment sheet you get after getting it done. So this is 500 miles after I picked up the car at the dealership. All miles were highway miles and I didnt hit any pot holes etc. Car pulled just a tad bit less to the left after the alignment. So the car in this alignment, front passenger tire wears more than any other tire. Also, can this be fixed or my chasis is bent or something? Please give me some feedback/suggestions after looking at the sheet. Thank you.

I'm experiencing the same issue with my 2010 MR. I had the car aligned at a quality alignment shop, and although the car is within alignment spec (the camber on the front right side is a little higher than the left side), it still has a slight drift to the left.

That's crazy, you need to get the car to a shop that can evaluate the car's setup more closely, set the alignment and make sure the car tracks straight. It's not that hard unless you have a tire/ wheel or suspension issue (and that's what you need to sort out.

You're in Norwalk for goodness sake, call EFI in Bethel, it's close.

if the car was aligned properly and if it is a slight pull than I suspect yours might be due to tire wear.

If the car is new, it's apparently common to discover the rear to be out of spec. From what I was told a few years ago, it happens as a result of how the ratchet it down hard in the rear when shipping the cars over.

also that alignment isn't all that great. the front looks to be a "toe n go" job. you have nearly a half degree of difference in camber from left to right, granted it's -1* total or less but still.

And given that Evo Xs have filp-only front camber bolts, what, exactly, was the tech supposed to do?

I would have liked to see more effort into getting the front toe to zero (and I'd love to know what's up with the SAI), but this doesn't seem that bad for a standard, cheapo alignment. Next time, ask them to aim for less rear toe, too.
