Squirelly steering

My car needs a front end alignment. Has a toe problem. I also need new tires. The tires are dry rotted. My car drives fine when its dry out except that it steers to the left. When its wet though, I hit a bump and my steering wheel likes to jerk a little. Is this because of my tires and alignment? If its something else, I'd like to fix that first before tires and alignment.

If you want you can take the car to Merchants or some place and ask for an alignment. usually before doing the alignment the tech will check out your suspension and tell you what needs to be fixed before he/she can do an alignment.

you already know you need an alignment, so why not start with the obvious.

Not all car repair shops are honest. I just want to make sure its just the alignment and tires before fixing them. If I have to repair something on the steering after the alignment, I just wasted money then.

you said the car needs an alignment. ANY shop will tell you and more than likely show you what is worng with the car before it does the alignment.
unless of course you're an a$$ and go in saying that all you want is an alignment.

I normally fix my own cars. An alignment is something I can do because I don't have the equipment. You live in Chicago. My aunt lives in Chicago. She always gets ripped off by the mechanics there. Now stop being a forum ***** and feel you have to respond to everything with your 5,000+ posts. I want some relevant information from someone that might know something.

what you want is some to agree with your bullshi* logic. it doesn't matter how correct another person is, you won't shut the hell up unless they agree with what you want them to. grow a fu*king brain *******. your not always right and we're here to prove it.

The love in here makes me feel like a McChicken nugget dipped in honey.

Pretty pissy for a 14th poster. Go to a shop, and quit being so insecure. Or maybe fix anything u need to have fixed before hand.

You think 5,000 post means he is a postwhore?!? I frequent forums where the high poster has 100,000+ and many have well over 30,000. So stop being an d!ck and maybe you will learn something.
