I've had a bit of a camber problem that ended up costing me to get new tires this summer. I got it aligned, but Firestone couldn't get it completed?

The symptoms:

When I take off, the wheel pulls hard to the left. Occasionally, while cruising, i will find that I have to compensate to the right pretty hard to keep the car straight.

Other times, it will pull to the right. And every so often after that, it will pull really hard to the right.


Now my car is lowered on KYB GR-2s and GroundControl coilovers. It is at its lowest setting. Some of you might think that thats the issue; my cars too low and I should raise it up a bit. But I've tried that and nothing seems to change. I've talked to Mynzeyes about this and his celica was lowered with the same setup and just as low as mine is and he's had no problems after getting it aligned..

Could there be something else thats wrong besides just an alignment?

your frist mistake was taking it to firestone .. if yours is anything like the one by me.. their alignment mechine is not that great.. and doesn't compesate for in perfections... second make sure are all tires are inflated to the same psi ... and all the bushings aren't wearn to much .. yea strut mounts are not worn .. your springs/ are ever all areound well side to side... there are alot of things that can throw off your alignment.. also check your motor mounts..
