Alignment question..

My car has been drifting to the left when I go 60+mph. Took it to get it aligned, the guy said it was off and he fixed it. Went to test drive it, still it was going to the left, came back, and he did it again. Still the car is drifting to the left. Mind you that I need new tires, my rear tires are on the verge of getting bald and the front tires have some thread. So I went to the shop again, he aligned it again and he test drove it around the parking lot, he said it drifts to the left, he told me I need new tires. Before the car woulnd't drift to the left at around 30mph, now it does. Would the tires cause the car to drift to the left or is he just BSing me ?

He also rotated the front 2 tires to see if the car would drift to the right, which it didn't.


Thanks...

if he aligned it 3 times, he should have gotten it right once . Mabye you really need some new tires.

Post your alignment numbers. I bet your camber is off. Most places don't adjust camber on our cars, they only do toe. I can tell you how to fix/adjust it if I can see the numbers.

Your tires also could be playing a role in your drift to the left. You should have the car right after you get new tires.
