got my suspension and camber on the other day. took the car to get an alignment done this morning. but for some reason, the car still wants to steer to the left. isn't an alignment supposed to straighten the wheels and whatnot? i can notice an improvement after the alignment. but i feel like it wasn't a good enough job. is this normal?

check your tires for any abnormal bumps, bubbles etc. also make sure they're inflated properly and evenly. i would also check out your suspension hardware such as balljoints, tie rods, steering rack, axles, cv joints etc. could just be something that is causing the car to steer in a certain direction which is beyond the scope of an alignment. BTW what kind of suspension and camber kit is it?

was your driver side window down? small cars rely alot on aerodynamics and even an open window will cause a pull to one side or the other.

check the brakes for draging. i like to go to that first because it can be check in the driveway (as opposed to taking it to an alignment shop again..) make sure the caliper slides aren't sticking. relube if needed. look for more wear on one side than the other... obvious things.

it's good to check the tire wear as well as long as they are in the original position and havn't been rotated.

lol hell yes its true.
when i smoke a cigg my hatch wants to make a U turn because when i ash my cigg
with my arm out the window and it throws off the aerodynamics.

i checked my tired this morning and i have a bubble on my rear passenger tire. i hope this is what's causing it. should i get this fix asap?

ASAP- yes
fixed- no

bubbles can't be fixed. you need the tire replaced. i would pick the worst of the remaining three and have it replaced as well. it's always best to do two tires at a time, and having the newest/best on the front.
