    hi guys, i dont know why but the wheel alignment of my car is really bad.
    its been serviced in the casa three times already and everytime it comes back it still has the same problem. i am going back tomorrow to get pissed off at them again but till then i need some help. they claim they have had it aligned and it should be ok by now. what could be the cause of this? could it be something else other than the wheel alignment itself that is causing this? tire pressure is normal so it couldnt be that. any other cause perhaps?

    my car is a mazda 6. anyone with a mazda 6 or 3 with similar problems?
    thanks! appreciate the help

    if three times mo ng pinaalign pero ganun pa rin ang resulta,there might be a worn suspension component( like ball joints,control arm bushings,strut assembly,tie rod ends,trailing arm bushings,etc.) or wheel/hub bearing,or maaring weak na yung coill spring.have them check the components first bago nila ialign yung kotse mo.ang rule of thumb kasi dyan eh,"you cannot align the looseness" kasi babalik at babalik ang problemang yan.

    Do you have the reading off the alignment computer, before and after?

    How can you tell it's off? Do you center the steering wheel, let it go, and the car swerves violently?

    Have you checked your tire pressure? A lower tire pressure on the right front tire can cause you to do the same thing. When it moves to the right is it immediate or after a few meters of driving?

alignment is horrible!! what to do?!
