Help is needed. When i bought my car the steering wheel was a little off center to the left. i just recently got new tires and an alignment. I asked them to straighten out the steering wheel but after the alignment my car now pulls right. So i brought it back and the shady mechanic showed me that the passenger wheel sits 1" further back in the fender than the drivers side does(Caster way off??), and told me i must have a bent strut. I had no pull ,excessive tire wear , or crazy caster before this alignment. what could be causing these problems???

Has your car ever been in an accident? Or have you or a previous owner ever rammed the front passenger corner into anything (high curb)? You may have a bent LCA. Also, quit going to shady mechanics

lol Backyard Billy. I wouldn't trust my ITR with someone shady.

You can try and spot the problem yourself. Get the front up in the air so that you can get underneath and start taking some measurements, see if there's any difference between the two sides.

Chances are it isn't the shock, but depending on how hard he hit the car in front, he may have bent the knuckle or maybe tweaked the frame and just pushed the entire shock tower in and back.

either the shock tower, upper control arm, or the knuckle has been damaged.

look over everything for any obvious signs of damage
