I ask what do you mean? She says a wheel is going to fall off.. I ask her did you hit anything? She says no.. I say then the wheel won’t fall off..

I drive it and yeah this thing is kinda all over the place..

Yikes!

Can you imagine trying to find someone that truly knows how to do an alignment, in Lake Havasu City?

@RiverDave who does the oil changes and maintenance on that vehicle? That should have been noticed a Very long time ago! 😱

There is no doubt it Needs an alignment.

Like @madweazl said. Either the toe or camber, or both are out of spec.

The issue will be finding a Competent alignment guy in LHC.

Post up the print out when it's all done.
 
I would have asked if it was acting like a clown, was it amusing you? Funny, Funny how

the one guy that was the goat for alignments had his landlord screw him out of the shop he was in on south side.

tireman does alignments but they fucking suck at it. they aligned my work van and they set the toe at 3* toe out (spec is .5* toe in) and it ate the fucking tires in a month because of it.
 
Belt separation.

You can see the bubble in the top center of the first pic. ASSuming it was a front tire, the other one would be F'd too.

It definitely takes some time to learn not only HOW to do an alignment, but to understand everything about alignment theory.

Most people just know how to do the "adjust to zero" thing. 🙄

shit if they had shot for zero that woulda been better than toed out 3 degrees.. i ended up having the ford dealer in bullhead fix it since the ford dealer in havasu isnt worth a fuck either.
 
that looks almost looks like something was rubbing the tire make sure something didnt comeoff. or was driven on a flat
 
looks more like a tire was defective.had similar happen on my daughters car.Tires were fine but half worn evenly about a week later happened to look and noticed inside coming apart.Replaced both front tires and been fine since
