Why after an alignment does my car like to wander?
Why after an alignment does my car like to wander?
I got an alignment a month ago and all of my tires balanced 2 weeks ago. My car likes to pull to the right ocassionally and then for no reason it'll pull left.
Why is it doing that??

1990 GTA
-355 carb'd, nicely reworked '64 vette heads, 2500 stall, 4.10's, other small things.
-Alston SFC's, Eibach Pro-kit, Koni's all around
-100+ nitrous shot
-Cruising in style with leather and nice stereo.

Check your idler arm. It probably needs replacement.

Jack up the front of the car, get the weight off the tires and shake everything, look for any thing loose, any visible play is bad, but if you had the car aligned they should have checked everything for you, a good alignment shop will not align it if anything is worn, if you find anything loose I would not go back to that shop.

My cousin aligned my car for me and took out too much toe, and now my car wanders over bumps too. When you had it aligned they may have done the same thing.
