I had some tien s tech springs installed about 4k miles ago and just got around to getting a alignment. The alignment is all with spec but my car pulls to the left. When I hold the wheel straight the car goes straight but when i let go the car immediately veers left. Sometime the steering wheel will even turn left. I almost feel like when i hold the wheel i have to fight it from going left ever so slightly. The car did pull left before the alignment but i figured all i needed was the alignment. I went back to the alignment place to have it rechecked and its all within spec. We tried checking tire pressures, rotating wheels, having someone in the car during alignment, etc.

Can anyone help me as to what is going on, its really annoying lol

 

So wait, the alignment shop doesn't know how to align your car? Sounds like you need to find a new alignment shop.

What are your alignment specs?

 

Possibly having a tire issue since you drove 4k without the alignment. You may have a wear pattern that is grabbing or catching the road. Just drive it for a while (few hundred miles) and see what happens.

 

My guess is poor tire wear too.

 

well if they didn't lock the wheel straight when doing the alignment it could be off, the alignment itself could have been thrown off due to a pot hole or something, or it could just be road crown...are you in the left lane when it pulls to the left?

 

They actually did lock the steering wheel when doing the alignment.....what is road crown?

 

Would it be poor tire wear even though we rotated the tires?

 

Just look at the simple stuff. If the only change between now and before is the alignment, and the alignment is in specs, then it has to be the tires. You probably have no idea which tire was where before so yes, it is probably a bad wear pattern from the 4k miles. You saved $60 bucks but may have toasted $1400 tires. Just drive them for a while and it should get better.

 

Could be. Try swapping the left and right tires and if the car then pulls to the opposite direction, then it's probably tire wear.
