Exactly!! Fj drove fine. Installed coil overs and it still drove fine. Got new tires, still everything was fine but I didn't want the tires to wear so I got it aligned. Camber was out of whack after first alignment, said they couldn't do any better. Took it back in and a different tech fixed the camber but now it pulls to the right and everything says it's in spec. .4 difference in right to left caster. When I took it back in I asked that they get the right side camber closer to zero as I didn't want the tires to wear unevenly but I asked them not to adjust if it was going to pull or wander. When they gave me the keys back they said; "We set the camber closer to zero but now you are pulling to the right, good luck, have a nice day."
Now I'm looking for a good alignment shop.
I hate letting other people work on my vehicles but unless you own an alignment machine I suppose you have to let them do this job. Grrrrrrr.
What is interesting is that the after results from the first alignment didn't match the before measurements on the second alignment - that was only 2 days apart and I had only driven 10 miles. Do they not train people to do alignments? Or is it they don't care? Or maybe just to busy to take more than a few moments? I always wondered about the logic of getting an alignment from a business that wants to sell you new tires...
Good luck Couver
P.S. I could never get anyone to align my 92 Pathfinder corectly - that thing eats tires or wanders.
