Alignment after eibach / kyb install
I got an alignment yesterday, three days after installing the eibach/kyb combo and the car rode smooth. However, after going over a set of railroad tracks, the alignment got all fubared. It began to pull to the left hard. Once I made a right hand turn though, the alignment went back to normal. What is going on?

When I first replaced my springs I had the same problem. Although I hadn't had it aligned yet. It turned out that I improperly installed the struts. There is a white round plastic piece that I went over instead of under. I reinstalled it properly and everything has been perfect ever since. I suspect someone made a boo boo on the installation on your front spring/struts.
Like I said. Go back to the alignment folks first and have them check out and retighten everything they did. If that isn't the cause have the folks that installed your spring/struts make absolute sure everything was installed properly. Turn the wheel all the way left and all the way right listening for any noises. If you hear a click that is a dead giveaway the struts were installed incorrectly.
Good luck my friend.
