Left veer After WORKS installed
My X has a tendency to veer to the left when going straight ever since a set of WORKS springs were installed. The tech at the shop said the vehicle is in good alignment and I know it can't be caused by torque steer. Anyone have the same problem? Solutions?
sorry, slightly off topic

Could be a few things:
1. Did your tech actually perform a realignment on your car? Was the process done manually or with a computer controlled aligner? Ask for the before / after results. This would make it easier to diagnose your problem.
2. If the alignment was done immediately after the springs were installed, it is possible that the springs were not fully 'settled' yet. Consequently, once the springs settle your ride height may drop slightly further and therefore throwing off your alignment.

From what he said I'm assuming the tech said the car's alignment was fine after the springs install.. While not actually having an alignment done.. OP you have to get an alignment after a spring or coilover change. You will be fine afterwards..
