Been wanting to ask this for a while, problem with alignment?


Ok, before my car went into the shop, I needed my alignment done. It'd always pull to the left. I also noticed that every morning when I'd back out of my drive way, and turn my wheels hard to the left, it would feel like something was hitting. It's hard to explain, it almost felt as if my front tires were going over rocks, it was jumpy in a sense. Almost as if the tires were rubbing against my fender well or something when turned sharply. Do you guys think this could have anything to do with alignment, or what are your suggestions? Thanks!

Could be any number of things, but in my opinion, its not the alignment.

If they do the alignment, which is basically, a small adjustment of the control arms, its not going to stop any noises/vibrations... its not the alignment...

You need to get it to a good front end shop and let them check it out.

What size tires are you running? has the car ever been hit? ever hit a curb?

if feels as if the car is going over rocks?? sounds like something other than the alignment to me, IMO.
