Alignment issue/problem
I had an alignment done about 2 months ago when I did my lower ball joints, lower outer tie rods, and Daizen steering busings. It was soon after I notice my car would drift/pull to the right after 40mph; 0-40mph is fine. I had my alignment guy take a look yesterday and he told me it's because I have directional tires and my tension rods need to be replaced. According to him, my car will pull because of the tires. He's stated I could switch the front tires to see if it would help. I'm not a tire expert, but is he pulling my chain? He looked at my lower control arm bushings and said they are fine. My car is lowered with L-tuned S/S and I have Vrdestein Essenta 245/35/19F and 275/30/19R. What do you guys think?
Thanks

GSteg,
I had the same reaction too when he mentioned tension rods. He even showed them to me. I checked my tire pressure 3 days ago and they were at 35 for all 4 tires. My tires are brand new, probably had about 500 miles on them.

I'm pretty sure he's not talking about the outer tie rod. I will ask him again to look at the bushings when I get a chance to drop my car at his place. If not the bushings, what else I could look at? Would re-balancing my wheels be the place to start?
