Default For some odd reason...

Ever since I slapped the B16A in my 88 CRX DX and lowered the car at the same time, my alignment isn't the same. I had the car aligned and it was great for a while and then it went back to it's bad alignment. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem? Could the shop have done something wrong? Thanks.

P.S. It pulls to the right and I have to have my steering wheel at 9 o'clock...

check your tire pressure
check your wheel bearings
check for any worn suspension bushings

those 88-91s have a bad problem with wearing the upper ball joint after they get a few miles on them. check it, as well as your tie rod ends and lower ball joint.

It wasn't until I lowered it and slapped the B16A but not that much, it only bounces a little bit. Do you think I should replace the shocks? Thanks.

are you running on stock struts or shocks?...

what year is this car?...

if it's been a while, say, 6 to 8 years... yup, then it should be about time

Still using the stock struts/shocks, the CRX is an 88 and it's lowered on Skunk2 coilovers.
