Help With My Alignment!...
OK...here is the deal:
I have on a 05 wrx on S-techs...I got an alignment done not to long ago and well the car seemed fine for like the first couple of days....then it went weird on me. The car seemed to move to the RIGHT a lot and it wasn't staying in a straight line when i let go of the steering wheel for like 5 seconds. Even with my hand on the wheel and just cruising it would move to the right. My hand would move too much left to right left to right about 2inches.(is this normal?)The car handeled better with the springs put on before the alignment. So i went back to the shop...they said to rotate the font 2 tires, so we did. Then I took it for a drive....seemed ok. (last thursday) Now it is doing the same thing again.The steering also seems kinda funny, almost as if it is vibrateing a little bit. On the Highway it seems to loosen up too much when i switch lanes, as if it is losing control. i asked my mechanic...he said it was a mis-alignment. Should i go back and ask them to check it on the alingment rack? (will this cost me) I already paid $125 for the alignment and could it be the toe that is makin it feel like this. I never got a print out sheet because i was in a hurry(long story)I asked for -1.3 Front and -1.0 in the back and 0 toe.....any ideas?

Sounds like your cam bolts are loose. I'd have them put it on the rack "just to make sure that it's the tires and not the alignment."

I have to make a phone call tomorrow...see what is up. Hopefully they won't charge me to check it, being that they already messed up. see what happens...

Funny thing...today my car felt like it went back to normal. Thought it still moves a little to the right somehow. I'm not sure what to do...but w/e i'll fix it.

I'd agree with Biggly, something has to be loose. Camber won't make it do what your describing, and it would take a ton of toe in or out...
Something loose also kind of fits with sometimes it seems ok, sometimes not. |
