Default Recommed allignment shops?

I started having tremendous bump steer as well as when I accelerate, I veer left hard. Any other recommendations besides allignment? If it is allignment, any recommendations on places?

FYI I had rota slipstreams on which had the last allignment with them on so not sure if that affected it...Again, ever since I put on stocks i started having the issue

If you didn't have this issue with the Rota's on, I would say it points to an issue most likely with the tires on the new wheels. Are they used? Same wear on both sides?

I have front anti bump steer kits in stock. Not sure if your that low to have that issue

What Vu mentioned above is probably the issue, there is no reason why you should have that problem with a different set of wheels if the set of wheels are in good condition

I had this problem a while back (of veering a certain direction when accelerating hard). It was caused by having two different size rear tires on either side of the car. I believe they were the same brand/dimensions, but the size (enough to cause this problem) can be altered from wear. Problem resolved instantly when all tires changed were the same age/brand.
