  • ok found out y my car moves to the left, now, need help

    like i posted last week about my alignment gettin done, the mechanic told me that my car will still move to the left. I looked at the alignment chart that he gave me, i looks like the right toe is 1/4 inche of. I think it has moved in, which is causin the car to move left. I dont know much about suspension, so does this seem right. The only reason i ask, is will my warranty cover the damage to the tow.

    Thanks in advance

    the tow-in(or however its spelled) is supposed to be 1/8" on both sides for it to drive straight, if its a 1/4" off then something is really messed up

        yeah me alignment got really jack up when some fool had major case of road rage. He thought i cut him off on the hwy, but i didnt mean to. A truck was speedin off the ramp onto the hwy. At last minute i had to move into fast lane. The car was like 5 car lenghts behind. I moved back into slow lane, he cuts me off and slamms on his breaks. I slammed on mine and they lock. I went fish tailed right onto teh grass on side. My whole car was facin the other. Surprising there was minimum damage. The paint works cracked at front and rim got slightly damage. I was hell impress with my save, remember i was goin atleast 70 in slow lane. Cops wont do ****, cause i didnt get plat number.

        Is the toe damage covered under warranty? They wont even know what happened. unless they psychic

          Check your tire rods, if they have to much play your toe is going to change as your drive. If something is bent that will mess your caster and camber up bad.
