I took the car in for an alignment Saturday Nov. 12th. After the alignment the car seems to pull to the left. I took it back in and he drove it 2 times. The car seems to drive straight sometimes and all of a sudden it will start to pull only to go straight again. It seems to pull 90% of the time. THe guy at Goodyear didn’t think the problem is the alignment because of the pulling not being consistent. His only thought is maybe the gear box is binding. I’ve added more oil to the box since the alignment and that didn’t change anything.

I figured out the problem on Nov. 27th. I first checked the ball joints to see if I over tightened. They were good. I had my wife wiggle the steering back and forth while I was under the car. The problem turned out to be the strut rod. The alignment guy didn’t tighten the bolt on the back side when he adjusted it. Why do I even bother trying to trust an alignment guy to do his job right. Now I need to take it back in to have it rechecked because it is pulling to the left. At least it isn’t changing from pulling to going straight.

I took the car back to Goodyear this afternoon and the Guy who did it insisted that he didn’t touch the strut rod even though he would’ve had to.  I ended up just walking out.  I drove over to Big O Tire and they got it dialed in right.
