alignment question, tire wear, just a thought.
ive recently changed the ball joints, struts, bearings, tie rod inner outer. sway end link bushings, rotors, brake lines, i got an alignment this morning( didnt want to ruin the new parts until an alignment right after build
it was way off on the way there) and i noticed that afterwards that the car pull to the right slightly.. if i let go of the steering wheel, not a lot, but a little. Im thinking thats normal? anyways, in my other car (not a third gen) is straight. I could let go for a long time and still be straight.
would perhaps the wear from the tires b4 the steering and suspension refreshed cause this, I noticed theres wear on the outer side of the front right tire. Im thinking next time, it be a great idea to get an alignment right after the new tire swap (current ones 4 yrs old (>8K miles). I suspect during the years it wore down due to worn out parts and alignment ( from early day drifting-->retired) anyways just a thought...
