Alignment Problem

[sache]

I have done 5 times alignment from 20 April till 19 May, all of them total failure. I have change chamber screw(is this right words?), bull joint & others that I dont even know.

After done with alignment, it tooks less than 5 hours to go back to the bad condition which is it turn left too much. Troublesome for straight road and very very annoying at corners.

Does it have to do with my previous accident or left at headlamp? That time I just broke my headlamp and do some damage at bonnet & fender, just not too much.

All 5 times at the same shop ? If it's the same shop, maybe it's time you try a different shop for a second opinion.

If you've changed every part of your suspension, could it be your tyres worn unevenly ? Did you rotate your tyres, ? These could cause your car to pull one side, you know.

If you're worried that it may have something to do with your chasis, why don't you check with a body shop, mudguard sifus should be able to tell if your chasis is misaligned.

2 times at same shop, 3 times at different shop. using laser n wired computerized alignment system.

maybe i should triple check on bushing & body that might related, it seems i have to wait till next month.

Yes I agree with 2 old 2 rusty.
Why, I have the same experience. Since my LE is second hand, I do not know what is the previos condition this car had been.

To check if you chasis is misalign, 1st you need to do is park your car is a straight condition. Tyre is straight. Check with a ruler on each side from tyre to mudguard/fender. Is it the same reading. If you are not so sure of this, you can bring your car to body repair workshop, they can advise you later on. Changing all those ball joint, bushes and so on is good and should be no problem with alginment...this could be you body chasis.

Again, ware absorber's, springs, and tyre can contribute to this also.

Check 1 by 1 bro...

Good Luck...
