    theory - someone aligned your car with the front wheels in the air, or set it to toe out instead of toe in
    I'm thinking the same thing. Because I did change my strut mounts after the alignment but did not touch the tie rods at all.
    My car feels pretty straight on the streets, but not to where its perfect.

    Toe in is positive or negative? I forget

    If I can. What does it mean? (Not saying it does) and while the car's on jacks?

    Lane dividers^^^

    If I go on the freeway and change lanes my drivers side jumps and forces me into the lane. Scary
    Ever since I've bought this car I've been trying to take it on the freeway but its a little dangerous, lol. Cars stay away from me because I'm all over the place.

    new:
    Front strut mounts, struts, outer ball joints, tie rods, m3 CAB's, sway bar end links.
    Rear shock mounts and shocks.

    Haven't changed wheel bearings though because I don't hear any sounds from the wheel. Could this be the first sign of a bad wheel bearing? Or cheap tires?

    And I had a recent alignment. Toe set at +.11 on both sides. Total:.22
Working...
