On each different hwy car pull left or right on different hwy idk if this have something to do with how hwy are made.

Tire wear okay let me start. 1st time we bought new tires all 4, balance them, mounted, get alignment will this guy didn't do alignment right.

After 7,000 miles since new tires I finally thinking let me get alignment done so I did n this time who did alignment will this guy do alig by "HANDS". He show me front tire look bad bec of 1st time guy didn't do alig correct, so he rotate my tire from back to front n I got new tire from back to front.

Later my car pull left in one hwy or pull right in different hwy.

I been told it depend how hwy is built. Is that true?

Yea its true.. Its called road crowning so that when it rains the water can drain easier... I hope ur not taking ur hands off the steering to determine that.. I see that all the time.. Maximas are pretty simple to align with the right alignment machine...

Yes they do align "by hand" not by computer. I been told by hand is best then computer align bec the number on the computer can never be right.

The people who do align by hand they also used some kind of gauage. Idk.

Take the car somewhere else to be aligned. If you're not slammed he should be able to do it no problem.

I do digital alignment all day and there are angles ur not going to see by hand.. I bet ur streeing wheel is crocked and you dont even know... A lot of people dont kno that its the rear adjustment on your car that straightens out the streeing wheel...
