Alignment Issues...20's On Stock Height
I've been back to the Alignment place for the 3rd time in 3 weeks...for some reason the alignment is off everytime i get on it..
the first time they did it...everything was straight .... BUT...i found out that it was eating my inner tires...which was toe wear...but the car doesnt lean...
2nd time....it was out of it...it leaned to the left..
3rd time it leaned tot he right...
im soo pissed right now im about to take off my 20's....
can someone help me? or figure out what is going on?...
i went to get an alignment today...when my car got on the rack...this is what i got
now after adjusting...the car doesnt lean...but the steering wheel inside the cabin isnt straight..and it bugs me...is there a special spec our sc430 to rid of this?

This is my third set of 20 inch wheels over the past 12 years and I have never had alignment problems. Thread wear on all four tires is even. I would start to address basic suspension questions, toe-in, caster, or even camber issues with the suspension, worn struts, shock absorbers, worn or loose wheel bearings, ball-joints, etc. Get the picture?

I have 20" no alignment issue but vibrations at about 60 miles speed however inside wearing little more (normal?). In March hit the curb hard, the steering was off almost an inch 
, I can see wheel little bent but holds air, realigned and balanced, drives good but 'sometimes' shakes at low speed on a rough road, hmmm little strange.
U may have suspension issue?
