2000 Civic Coupe EX.
So I went to get an alignment and on the way there my car was steering from side to side like it had a mind of its own trying to kill me. Went home and everything was great. Took it out for a cruise the next day and everything was great. Next day I notice the Right wheel is crooked but I thought it was because of my uneven dirt driveway. I adjusted my camber arms all the way back because I like the way it looks
I go for a drive and my car is trying to kill me again swerving this way and that way so I check out the tie rods. One wheel is still obviously crooked and a notice "Bolt 1" (on both sides) wasn't tightened down at all so I took the liberty of tightening them and adjusting the wheel so it's straight again but that required me to turn it until there were NO threads left. (right side)
As you can see here both wheels are pretty straight and so is the steering wheel. I'm wondering if the guy doing the alignment didn't do a good job? Would leaving that bolt loose really screw up my geometry and cause the tie rod to go out of alignment? I don't really wanna take it back because then I have to reset my camber and pay them another $100
