Well, if they're so good, then why did they not find all of the problem to begin with, send you out in a car that is misaligned, and not determine what the problem is the second time around?

The easiest way to figure out what the problem is would be to jack up the front, remove the front wheels, and go from side to side taking measurements to compare things. Both side are basically mirror images of each other, so whatever doesn't match is probably the problem.

A friend said the same thing five minutes before TWO wheels flew off his car merging onto the freeway. You may have mostly convinced yourself nothing is wrong with the car, but you are asking a public forum for help... there must be a reason why. Again, if it wasn't broken you wouldn't need to ask.

An inch is an awful lot for a font end. WIthout knowing Civic suspensions I can only guess that the front subframe is tweaked or bent. If it is you should be able to see it from below. I'd try measuring left & right side of the car from below.

Have you resolved this issue? My car is in a similar situation.


After alignment, my car feels good but it still has this slight pull. I would say it's 95% to what the car had originally been.
