Hello all had alignment done twice. Still pulling to the left. Going back tommorw. Can any members be kind enough time look at the photos please and let me know if the readings are o.k. steering wheel sitting off centre to the left if I centre it pulls to the left.
no. 2 rear arms need new bushes but I think the toe isn't quite right. And help please..
That's a machine that literally shows you the actual readings, the target specs, and the tolerances, for the vehicle that's being serviced, with red for bad and green for good.
I'm not sure what anyone could add to make it simpler.
If your steering wheel is off center when the wheels are straight, the shop needs to center the steering rack. Does you car actually pull to the left, or is the steering wheel just crooked? If your steering wheel is crooked in the counterclockwise direction while driving straight, turning it clockwise to straighten it would make the car go right, not left.

Pulls to the left. They did centre the steering rack twice I actually watched him doing it.
Its like this I take there word for it and the reading are within spec. Or if they overlooked anything I can tell them to have a look again. Does it have to be zero calibrated after alignment? That I'm not even sure off.
Are the readings wildly out or close enough.
I can't seem to find the factory alignment specs so I could compare. I know red is not good and green is within tolerance..
If the alignment is good and the car still pulls in a direction, check your tire pressures. Another possibility could be a stuck brake caliper
I'm not sure the alignment is within the range. Does anyone know what the factory alignment specs so I can cross reference against what there set it at.
Tyre pressure all good checked before doing it 32psi all round. Tyres all good. Brakes all sound.
for e.g what is the factory toe range for front and rear?
No difference in swapping front rims over still pulling to the left. I got him to do toe adjustment they were not much different than previous visit. Couldn't do the SAI as there system said no. As I asked them to look into that as it wasn't done previously.
I know I have to get rear no.2 arms then get camber adjusted once fitted. Could it be the camber out that's the problem.. Does rockauto arms come with the bushing? Are these the no. 2 arms. That's the culprit.
