Vancouver,
went to do alignment on gf's car today. the guy did it, computer showed that all was according to spec etc. when went for a test drive, it didnt drift right or left but what i noticed was off was the fact that when the car goes straight the steering wheel is slightly turned to the right. i went back to the dude and he started saying that the reason it off is cuz the struts were not installed properly or whatever (had struts replaced a few months back, but not lowered). anyways, i dont really know if i can believe the guy because when i drove into his bay, the steering wheel was centered properly even tho alignment was tiny bit off. wanted to run this by you guys to see if i can make some sence of this.
oh and another reason im a little suspicious of his "diagnosis" is because i had to do an alignment on my car about 2 years ago and i went to the dealer (ya very smart of me :roll: ) to take care of that. they did the alignment and i got the same missalligned steering wheel problem after which i went back and they fixed it within 30 minutes. so ya, im confused.
