Hi,

I think my car drags a bit to the right. Was wondering how much you guys paid for wheel alignments?

Thanks

 

Do a search, it might be covered under warranty and a caster problem from the factory. Several other members have had this problem

Are you sure it's an alignment issue? Has it been pulling all its life? If not, do you remember hitting something hard enough to knock the alignment out. It could be a dragging brake. Is one wheel/caliper hotter than the rest of them? Also a bad tire can exhibit higher than normal rolling resistance that can cause the car to pull. Good luck!

 

hmm I just bought the car used couple of months ago so not too sure. I also just had the tires replaced so can't be that either.

yea I did see those posts but wasn't sure if it was a car problem or just a general alignment issue. the previous owner was running a different set of size tires, but I replaced the tires with factory spec set.

 

New Tires usually equals in getting a Wheel Alignment..

Even under normal circumstances..

I would say $75-$100

hmm awesome, i'll call up the dealership and see how much they charge then call up some other places. thanks for the response joe z

 

I had the same problem when I got new tires.

What tires did you replace the stock ones with?
Are they the oem assymetrical replacements? (RE050 or PS2)
if not, are they directional tires?

I didn't go with OEM replacements. The car tracked like an arrow when I had the RE050's.
I ending up replacing my tires twice then the rt. side caster bracket but it didn't solve the problem. Everything is within spec and it still pulls to the right. We narrowed it down to the tires (tires were directional). Next time around I am going with OEM replacements or something that is not directional. That should fix the problem.

 

I have an aftermarket alignment shop in Austin if you need one bro. They did my F after I lowered it.

 

The previous owner had another brand that was pretty awful. They were loud as heck. I forgot the brand name of them. I then replaced them with stock specs PS2s. I really like PS2s. I had them on my F-Sport wheels before I sold them.

I had a shop in mind, maybe we're thinking of the same one. What's the one you had in mind?

 

yep mine had troubles too

 

I will PM it to you

 

Thanks, turns out it's the same shop.
