The only things that should "change" an alignment in such a short time are:

1. Some impact or hit (Curb or even pothole)
2. Irregular tire wear. (In which case the alignment may be fine, and you're feeling the tire)
3. Damaged or loose suspension component

How long ago was it you had it aligned?

Most often, #2 is to blame, do you see any strange wear on your tires?

Usually you should align the car once a year at least, or whenever you change something on the suspension, or whenever you mount new tires.

Edit: And what Matt said.

was it about 3 weeks to a month ago? and no the tires have even wear on them .. I havent been driving the car that much we have been using the WRX instead ..
And ofcourse nothing has changed on the suspension side.. the only thing (Khail pay attention..lol ) that I will buy this weekend is a Down Pipe..
Ofcourse that is out of context ..lol

Strange...I would talk to Big-Oh and tell them exactly what you said, especially the part about not driving the car very much...perhaps they'll help you out

Also, may I suggest checking your tire pressures. Sometimes even the slightest difference in pressure from side to side will cause a pull which feels liek alignment

Did you take the pics of the 20's?

No, No pics,,,They're very similar to the wheels I posted in the Ugly thread..

I really don't want 20's though, I'd like to keep some level of off-roadability, and 20" tires cost so much.

I think I'm gonna stick with 18's.


R-R-R-R-R..Unit!

Good call. If you would have gotten the 20's they would have had to be spinners. Plus you'd have to go out and get a spinner chain to match the rimz..

Giants should beat up on the Rockies this weekend...They've lost some really close games and have actually played pretty well.. When you are up against a superior team like the Dodgers, that shit won't fly, but playing the Rockies in South Park should be no problem.

*Note, I don't really hate the Giants, I just have a shitload of freinds who I love to annoy.*

This has been a good thread.

You sometimes you just wake up in the morning and thank God. Cause you know, today seems kinda odd.

No barking from the dog...no smog...
