Wheel Alignment
Hey,
I just got my car a Wheel alignment. Im glad I did, my car was really bad. I noticed a lot of great things out of it...all together my car was -20 and -17 was a front tire alone! The car seems to pull harder now witch is awesome cuz she was fast as hell to begin with. I notice no vibration at low speeds like I use to. The only problem is my car still pulls to the left. I know I have bad tires in the front due to the fact I don't have a car that has ABS and I have a lot of chunks missing in them from locking up the brakes.
You think to fix the problem of the car pulling to the left... I should put my front tires in the back, and put the ones on the back in the front. I could use a wheel rotation anyway. Or should I just go back to the shop and tell them it pulls to the left and see what they have to say? Or is some pull normal?

Rotate your tires first. If it still pulls, take it back and have them take another look at the front end.
A good alignment shop should have told you to rotate them before you had the car aligned.

TitleistPrto: After the wheel alignment the car felt really good, to drive her now is nice, cuz my tires were REALLY bad. Besides what I said above I really haven't noticed anything els, unless there something u want me to look for? I did notice though my drop seems lower but that was cuz my wheels towed so bad that in the fender they were tilting, but now since they sit straight, it makes them look like there closer to the wall...the drop is the same, its just an allusion
njmaxseltd: yeah your right, they should have told me about that, but they promised to do it for me. I was just in a hurry to pick up the car i siad screw it i'll do it my self some time..
But yeah im going to try to rotate the tires first, and see what happens

*** Update****
Ok well I know balancing wont do it cuz I had that done a couple months ago.
I just rotated my tires, and it did the trick. Man my front one were so bad I cant believe it. The car stays straight from what I could tell on my little test drive...the thing that sucks is my bad tires are in the back now and the rear of the car shakes and wobbles like a Fat ladies @§§ walking down the street.
If anyone knows if good deals on tires, let me know please im looking for a pair of 235/45/17s
Thanks for everyone help
