messed up front alignment?? wtf
i just drove bout a hundred miles to my girlfriends house, and it seemed to want to go to the right, and when i got here, it appears my front passenger side tire seems weird. almost like the bottom of the tire looks in too far( like when you take it off the jack stands)
I got a new spohn steering kit last year and got the car aligned at the same time.
any one else have this?

I would check for loose nuts/bolts, that they failed to fully tighten after the alignment was done. Both on the strut tower & everywhere else.

i checked, and eveything seems tight.
Could it be that my tie rod is not adjusted right? or tightened to far?
its killin the outer tread of my new Falken tire=[

I've gone around the block, pulled back in...."Its not right...You need to realign it again."
