Alignment goes bad after a month

My problem is I get my alignment done, then in a month my car is shaking and pulling to the right. So basically I’m back at the shop getting my alignment fixed. They cant figure out why it gets messed up so fast. I don’t drive hard at all, I really only freeway drive it about 3 to 4 times a week. Any ideas on what might be causing this problem?

Thanks for the help!

What shop did you take your car to?

If your bushings are really old, that's the problem. No matter how many times you get an alignment, your spec will be gone because of the bushings.

have the shop check the rear toe ecentrics, the bolt tends to get worn over time and will not hold solid toe espically the outer nut . the rear settings directly affect your front toe so it does throw off everything

I took it to TirePros, they did the laser alignment. I'm going to take it to another shop, but i wanted to have a few ideas of extra things to have them check so I can finally drive my car again in peace.

Thanks for all the help so far!

Any more news on this problem ?

I think you should stop to go to that shop where you got alignment done last time because they did not tell you possible front end damages in your car. Without good front end condition, the alignment can be done but will not last long.

It seems like theres alot of alignment issues after lowering a GS...

There are all sorts of alignment issues whenever you lower ANY car. I don't know if this is applicable on a GS since mine is not lowered and has stock rims, but on my '97 Altima that was lowered, I had to get a camber kit just to get a decent alignment job. Personally, I'm done messing with the suspension and wheels. My '99 GS4 looks fine without being lowered, and it is so much less of a headache when you don't have to fix your alignment every 5 seconds.
