I just had my axles replaced at a shop and now it seems that my car pulls, as if its not aligned right anymore. Is it possible my alignment is off or something else might be wrong? I did check tire pressures and they were all the same.

 

yes it can throw your alignment off. think of it as any difference between the old axles and new ones will throw alignment off.

Best rule of thumb is to get the car aligned whenever you do any suspension work.

 

yup...try Firestone. For $124....life time alignment. I get my car aligned every 9 months to a year cuz better than manicures.

Ditto. Since the shop had to remove the steering knuckle out of the way, they could have accidently changed the adjustments. So get a wheel alignment.

 

meh, i need new tires, i'll just get one when i get new tires i guess. I would think they'd put it back to spec. Idk, haven't really inspected it.

 

nope, new tires will not put back to spec...do yourself good and get aligned when you put on new tires.

The easiest way to do that is separate the balljoints at the tapered studs. In that case you won't need an alignment.

But... If they took it apart a different way, they may have thrown something off.

 

hmm. Idk, they are a domestic shop, they usually don't touch imports.. so maybe.
