Ok, today I got 4 new tires put on, balanced, and then I had them do an alignment(sp?). I also had them do an inspection as well. Well on the slip it said I was leaking on my head pipe, and it would cost $197? Anyone know where that is located on the car?

Anyways the real question for this thread is that I picked the car up after they were done, and when I could take my break from work. So they`re closed when I get there. I leave and then I notice that my car is pulling to the left now(used to pull to the right before i got alignment). So does anyone have an idea whats wrong?

Oh ya, I guess they didnt take it for a test drive either.

how bad is the pull, goodyear told me factory specs pull slightly to one side to compensate for the road.

my car pulls also, but I took it in for an alignment, and they told me it cant be done b/c our cars dont have the right ports or w/e for an alignment. But I know its my tires, the front left 1 is always low even tho I have 40 PSI in it, while my others are at 32 PSI.

my friend has the same experience. he put on new kumo estatics and the car pulled hard to the right, once the tires wore in a little his alighment was back to normal. through out the whole time he has the shops check alignment and multipule wheel rotations trying to find out why it did that.
