^looks like I just got my answer.
Im having the same problem, car pulled to the left before alignment.
they only had to align the rear was out of spec, front was in spec.
im worried i have a bad rack & pinion.
car tracks straight on level road,but if the road is uneven it pulls hard to the left.
any ideas of what else could be causing this?
thanks.

 

Get it aligned by a reputable shop. That is always the answer.

If your car is slammed to the ground, it will ruin the suspension geometry and cause bump steer. Whiteline makes parts to alleviate this problem.

 

Car pulling to one side after an alignment can be the result of low air pressure in one tire. I can always tell when one of my front tires is a little low because the car will pull to one side a bit. Air them all up and it runs straight.

Or it could just be that the alignment was out of whack. Read post #24 above. I've also had that happen once.

 

Uneven, non adjustable caster'll do it. It gets off in these cars and is non adjustable stock. Camber not so much. Take note of these when having your car aligned by somebody else:

Watch them align the vehicle.
*Make sure they actually remove all the slip pins from the plates. (Many "alignment technicians" don't fully understand to wait for the machine to give proper results or to make small incremental changes(then wait) and also believe that removing slip pins will negatively affect the alignment as it allows the car to fully float- ITS SUPPOSED TO.)

*The back must be done first- it usually throws off the front.if you ever see somebody only go to align the front and ignore the back, they need to start over.

Don't want any bs like I've seen too many times and for it to be done right? Go to texas track works. Think about variables- going drive over a curb on accident or run off into the grass and something feel funky afterwards? pay for the year . It's worth it.

You get what you pay for. $150/3 yrs at ntb sounds good you say? I tried 5 times, 2 locations, multiple techs and tries with same techs, within 2 weeks- my car was taken for a joyride(in valet mode, brilliant- maybe he shut it off, he was gone for 10 minutes. You test an aligned car on a flat parking lot, not the freeway nor a crested road ) and my neatly organized glove box which will stay in place aftr a track session had been ravaged. I had to tell aeach guy how to do it after watching successvice tries and failures. they still never got it right- I gave the alignement package away.

 

I"m bone stock, no drop nothing all oem.

delership is telling me its normal,because most of the roads here are crested to the left.

IDK tech drove my car tells me there is nothing abnormal.

 

you only test alignent on a flat parking lot. if it pulls to one side on a crested rd-cause it just does.

& what todd said. i pick texas track works. does don herring have a rack? they always treat me right.

dont know what else to tell ya. info and options provided. gl :]

 

I had EvoD install camber/caster plates last Friday. I took it by Texas Track Works today and AJ dialed my alignment in PERFECTLY. Exactly -2.5* camber on both front wheels and 4.1* caster. The car feels fantastic. Let Kyle or AJ take care of it.

whenever im able to get new tires and fix my bushings im going to try texas track works. i had cobb do my last alignment. never again.

 

I've had good alignment experiences from both Cobb and Don Herring.

 

Just had it re aligned, by own shop big surprise alignmebt was totally off. Now I'm convinced the dealership & it's employees just don't care. The service manager was so adamant he knows everything. I can't wait to see this jerkoffs face when I show him how great the alignment that they did. The before & after don't lie.
This was less than 500 miles less than a month since original alignment. Car only has 4k

 

This of course assumes the shops alignment machine is calibrated better than the dealerships. I've actually tested this theory on my IX and had my alignment checked at two shops within a week and neither measured the same. It's always a good idea to ask about the techs qualifications, experience, and the machine's calibration.
