Alignment done..

[Aquineas]

My car has been pulling to the right a bit so I took it in to have an alignment done.

The following values were "in the red":

• Right front camber -1.1
• left front toe .20
• Front total toe .32
• left rear camber -2.3
• left rear toe .03
• right rear camber -2.2
• rear total toe .16

The values weren't super-bad I guess, but the between the alignment and him rotating the front tires, it did seem to fix the pulling (even a slight pull is annoying over a long drive, and I drive a lot between Houston and Austin). I'm mostly posting these figures for comparison purposes for someone down the line (no pun intended).

Who aligned it and what did it cost?

Thanks

My closest dealer, Wiesner Hyundai aligned it. I had a coupon for 4 wheel laser alignment, tire rotation, and balance for $129.

I buy a lifetime alignment for every vehicle i own from Firestone for about $180. I have the alignment checked every 5000-6000 miles. My Genesis has one measurement slightly out when I brought it in at 900 miles. I had it checked once since then and everything was fine. I now have almost 7000 miles.

Wow I didn't know there was such a thing; thanks for the tip! Is the Lifetime Alignment a 4-wheel alignment?

 

[lobsenza]

Yes, it is. They use Hunter equipment at the location I go to. I have it on all of my vehicles.

had my alignment redone by the dealer for free at 3500 miles. now at 5600...it has a pull to the right again. but I drive with my hand settled on the wheel on the left and it balances out the weight of my hand. perfect lol!

So with your alignment being fine do you have any vibration? Do you have original Hankooks or Michelins?

 

[lobsenza]

I have the original Hankooks. I do not have a vibration issue. But, vibration has more to do with balancing and flat spots than alignment.

I do the alignment check often to minimize tire wear problems. They usually do minor tweaks. If I hit a bid bump or get new tires, I always do an alignment check right afterward.
