Default alignment?

Hi -

I got an used 1988 Honda Accord 4 door sedan. Its in good shape except for the front wheels seem going in one direction while the rear wheels going in other direction making the car going sideway slightly. It ddoes not look like that it had an accident. Would 4 wheel alignment help? What about shocks/struts?

Thanks.

Jim

just that if new shocks/struts will help fix the sideway driving. Should I try for alignment before I do anything else?

Thanks.

yeah go for the alignment first defienetly, ask them for a print-out of your camber/castor and toe settings

shocks and struts will not effect that type of alignment problem
