If you rotated her tires, this would have been obvious a while ago. Some accidents are avoidable.


According to the latest statistics reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), tire blowouts cause 78,392 accidents, 10,275 injuries, and more than 400 deaths each year.

I owned a Hunter machine and really enjoyed doing alignments. You don't need the latest equipment just competent people doing them.

I really enjoyed doing them when I worked for Lexus. Most of their cars were caster, camber and toe adjustable on the front, AND camber and toe adjustable on the rear!

You could make those cars go straight as an arrow, if put some time into it.

I had a lady tell me one time, her car didn't drive straight. I looked the car over, and noticed a chunk missing out of the RF wheel. When I pointed it out, she Insisted we must have sold her the car that way. 🙄

When I said, let's go for a drive, so you can show me what's wrong?

First thing she does...

Is hit the curb while making a right hand turn.

She left a bit upset after the test drive...

What really fun is when the car owner is looking for performance and wishes something more than factory spec's. I did all our front, rear and four-wheel alignments. Owned a collision repair shop and almost every car spent time on machine for prior to returning to customer.
 
Life is all about timing.. guess what shows up three days after I buy tires for her stock wheels.. lol
