Hello guys ! My car has been swerving or pulling slightly left and right on the freeway, even local i feel like something is not right. I just got a brand new sets of tires, i had my alignment done by firestone but problem still persist. Before everything, i had another shop, who put my front tire into my rear wheel and never did my alignment which really messed up my tires. But after 4 brand new tires and alignment done, what could possibly be the problem causing my swerving? the car just doesn't feel stable, Please advice guys !

Dumb question is the highway full of ruts? My is350 just got an alignment as of last saturday (30th) and as soon as i drive on un-even roads or horrible roads I'm literally going everywhere. Just a thought

nope, thats the problem, it's the i-280 and the road is pretty smooth.... this is very puzzling to me

They set your toe to zero maybe?

Before or AFTER that drink?

I used to work for Firestone, first thing you should do is take it back and have them do the alignment again. If the problem still persists then request your money back, and go to another place.

When I worked there, some mechanics were shady, and the alignment machine was crap. Then again I can't say anything about that particular Firestone cause I didn't work there..

Sounds like you have zero toe or possibly toe-out. That's an unstable setting - the car will want to change direction. Toe-in is stabilizing - the car wants to go straight.

Any time you put on new tires.. Go easy on them the first 500 miles. They need to be broken into.

For 2IS RWD.. your alignment spec should be this:

Toe
Front right: 0.04 degree
Front left: 0.04 degree

Toe
Rear right:0.12 degree
Rear left: 0.12 degree

Keep it at that spec and you should be fine. Cyrus aka JC Autohouse does my alignment. One of the best in Socal. Never had uneven wear when he does my alignment. GL

FYI: I've been on Fsport springs with oem shocks for 70k mileage with no issue.

IF your alignment is in spec and after driving for 500+ mileages.. you still having issues. I would assumed your tires are defective. I had defective Hankooks evo v12 about 2 years ago. It was pulling to the left all the time. Changed tires and problem solved.

What tires do you now have on the car? Any mods on the car's suspension? OEM wheels? Can you take a picture of the printout after the alignment was completed and post it up here for us to examine?

See about getting them to narrow down the front toe to "0"; see if that helps.
