Mis-alignment........

[ESPER]

Wsup, basically when i bought my 95 S14, it had bad alignment;in order for me to stay straight, the steering wheel would have to be held towards the left, so i brought it to sears and had it aligned, and it was better, but it seemed to be a tiny tiny tad to the right now. i thought, hey maybe it just feels this way cuz i have always been pulling it to the left!! hehe well, not it has gotten worse, so it this sear's fault for bad alignment, or is there another cause to this constant mislalignemt?? and if so, what is it and how can it be fixed!!

thanks!!

try bringing it back first, if it keeps getting messed up u got another set of problems

Sears didn't do my alignment correctly. You need to ask them for the readings from their machine...or go somewhere else...make sure the camber, caster, and toe are ok. All of these must be within a certain range. Sears didn't seem to know what they were doing, because I brought it back to them twice before I had to ask for the readings. When you look at the readings...they must be within a maximum and minimum. I had to have my frame adjusted because the car had been wrecked. But that might not be your problem; hopefully it is just a bad tire or something easy. Good luck.

mjadude, could u tell me what the limits are regarding toe, caster, camber, etc. thanks!!

make sure the pressure in your tyres is even on both sides

yeah i checked, double checked, TRIPLE checked! HmMM, could it be some suspension componets?? also, ima bring it back to sears this weekend, i was wondering what are desirable settings regarding the camber?? thanks!!

Have your tires balanced too, that can cause pulling to one side.

be wary of sears, I no longer trust their auto center. when i took my 240 there for an alignment they tried to tell me that my car was front wheel drive (which surprisingly costs more). When i argued with the rep he even went as far as to say that nissan doesnt make any rear wheel drive vehicles!! So stay on your toes when you do business with them.

Yeah, i went to sears to put 4 tires on my car, and i got charged $14 to balance wheels each. I looked at the prices on the wall and it was like 8.99 for standard and 9.99 for hard. Mine were like "special balance" I'm like wtf i have steel wheels??
