Alignment question

Hey guys,

I wanted to ask you about my car problem..

My car is pulling to the right and:
- Alignment done. Alignment checks out fine. Nothing major off to cause pull to right.
- Tires are balanced, got the tire guys to check it twice
- Tried rotating tires, every possible combinations (I think)

Now, I don't know what to do..
Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

Maybe something wrong with your Lower Control Arm or Knuckle Assembly.

Just my guess.

You should not have to be doing any guesses. The purpose of an alignment is to make sure all steering/components are set up to correctly track the car straight down the road. Any deficiencies in these components should have been picked up in the alignment or the alignment specs were not followed. From what you've described it sounds like they did things right but there has to be something missed or wrong.

Simple answer- take it back where you got the alignment and have it corrected or take it somewhere else you can trust.

alignment should be more than just making adjustments.
- components should be checked as well.
& a test drive should follow.

You can ask to go on the test drive to point out what the problem is.

Kimro,

Did you by the car used?

Was an info sheet given to you about the vehicles history? An accidents if any?

What dealership did you go to for the alignment?

Yes I got the car used, no accident recorded, clean carfax.
I got it from Downtown Mazda.

I went to AlignTech at Kipling & Rexdale.
