so when i got an alignment before wheel was straight but evertime i hit a bump the steering wheel would go to the left. when i inspected the car when the k24 was put in all 4 motor mounts were toast, i swapped em out and still the same problem. the drivers side tie rod was done and swapped that out and the problem went away a little.

just recently i had my friend align it again and now the problem is gone but my wheel is turned to the left and my toe is all messed up, but when my friend did the alignment everything was to factory spec? any ideas?:mfrown:

1st Start looking at the wear items. A wandering alignment means something is shifting. be it the lower control arm bushings, the tie rod ends or even the bolts holding the strut to the knuckle. Something is slipping.

Regarding the steering wheel being off center; that's an error by the shop. The steering wheel gets center 1st then the rest of the suspension is aligned around it.

Sounds like something is loose or bent.

This "IS" the best help I can give you....You know sooner or later, it's going to happen. You'll end up selling or trading....hahaha...

BTW, did you get it fixed?

i would go with the bent factor or worn tie rod ends, LCA bushings, etc
