what sup honda-tekkers,
been awhile haven't gone on here and i know i can count on you auto wizards.
got a problem here, i dropped my hb back in sept. 2006 and never got an alignment done till now. car was driving fine and everything no swerve to the left or right steering wheel was straight. soo as many of you recommend to always get an alignment done after lowering your car i decided to do so after 4 months and front tires are looking eat up a lil bit. did a lil bit of search on alignment shops in san diego decided to go with TRULINE shop, went there last week wasn't too busy the wait was 45 mins. this one dude was working on my car; for me, i don't really like to stare at the people working on my car i would just look for a lil bit and then go have a seat and pray that they would do a good honest job. now this other dude came up to me and tell me this bullshit like, "hondas are hard to do camber blah blah blah something about camber adjustment i couldn't really remember what he said. but i got the quote on the receipt and it says, "recommended services- two camber correction" and that'll cost me 150 included with the 30 coupon that i went in for the two front wheel alignment. is this a rip off or what? i said i came here with 30 bucks and thats all i have he said that he'll do the two fronts for now and the correction later in the future i said alright.

i noticed a difference in the car, seems like the steering wheel are more stable. now 2-3 days later i realized my car start to swerve to the right more and my passenger tire are less pressure than the driver side. whats's going on? could he have done something fishy to my car? i put air on the right tire and the next day its low pressure again than the left and its not fun driving my car like it used to. i feel like i should have left it alone and not get the alignment done. what step of action should be taken?

step A: take it back to alignment shop

step B: take it to the tire shop

 

If your car didn't start pulling until you got the alignment done then i would say it's the alignment shop's fault. They jacked something up. Gotta be careful cause some of those shops don't like to do work on modified vehicle and they'll throw some "lowering it throws off the specs and geometry" bullshit in your face. I speak from experience.

Camber shouldn't cause your car to pull right or left but it will eat up your tire edges if it is cambered in or out too far. You can correct that with an aftermarket camber kit.

As for the alignment i would suggest going to a shop that has a laser alignment machine. They usually work alot better.

 

This is the Wheel and Tire forum.

You should ask your question in the Suspension forum.

 

this is the easy part take it to a tire shop have them inspect the tires and makes sure the tires are properly inflated and that you don't have any leaks... once that is all done then take it back to the shop and say hey i did this stuff and i am having issues still.... then go from there... by the way you should of had a four way alignment after you lowered it
