Default Alignment problems...

I replaced all the CA and TRE on the front (myself), replaced the tires, and got an alignment at the dealer. Drove the car for a week (including a short trip to TN from ATL) with no problems and now I get in the car this morning to go to work and the alignment is out.

The car is pulling to the right (again) as it did before I replaced the CAs and TREs.

What in the world would make the alignment go out again? I certainly did not hit anything or really stress the suspension since last week.

I've got another appointment with the dealer to see if they can fix it again... yay...

Default First check tire pressures

Then rotoate the tires, front to rear, do not cross them.

Then, if it is still pulling, get the alignment redone. Make sure when you are pullingthe tires you check the tie rod ends. They may have left an adjuster loose.

Default most roads have a crown in them for water runoff. hence why cars pull to the right.

only way to tell if you're alignment really is out is to get a second alignment.

If the dealer has it, ask them to double-check your CA & TRE work.
