Before I got my nifty tires (a nice term for expensive), I had the front end aligned. When I went in there, they said that the car still pulled to the right even though the tires were aligned.
They said this could be a hydraulic problem with the rack, but said that this should not cause uneven wear on the tires...
Well, now the inside of my tires is wearning on both front and I am wondering where to take it first.
The car pulls to the right, but it also gets pulled all over the place by ruts in the road. On a flat road, this doesnt happen, but when there is a crack, uneven part or ruts (worn into street by heavy traffic).
I have wide tires in the front and thats all I thought it was. Now that I have to take it in for an alignment or repair, I want to make sure that I dont miss anything like tie rods, etc.
On heavy turns, the front right wheel seems to be "wobbly". Not crazy, but on very hard turns, I can almost feel a slight wobble that reminds me of a bad tie rod.
Is there a really good (they have half a brain) national chain or local Illinois place to take it to diagnose the issue and point me in the right direction?
In other words, if I take it to an alignment place, will they be able to tell me if the rack is screwed up, tie rods are ****, or what. I would like to get repair work done first, then get the alignment.
If I need to get work done that needs an alignment afterwards, then I would like to go to a place that will take care of this.
Thanks!!
