Allignment

Post by Euphman06 »

I just got my 95 legacy alligned about 2 months ago and again it is steering too much to the right when the wheel is straight. The last time the front left tire's toe was off. However, i really didnt expect it to get out of allignment this fast. Is there anything that can cause this? I really don't think it should be out of allignment already just 2 months later...

Get a big framing square and park your car on a flat surface and check it out. I never trust alignment places. You can get it aligned and go directly to another place and they'll tell you its way off.

That's because it usually is. You can drive a car onto an alignment rack, go around the block, and put it back on the same rack and it'll give you different readings. This is ALWAYS the case. ALWAYS.

What is really happening, is your steering rack is shifting slightly. You'll notice that your toe will have the same total, but in different directions because of this.

The easiest fix, is Whiteline/SuperPro steering rack bushings. Do that, and youre golden.

And a good Hunter rack will do you better than any T-square and a driveway ever will. You just have to find the right place to go.
