Wife says her car drives funny

[RiverDave]

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!

 

[ROBERT L]

That’ll do it.

 

[Richard h]

Yikes! Good she noticed and said something.

That is the point where the tire sheds its outer shell in hopes of finding a new home. I saw it on animal planet

 

[Realbadlarry]

Um she's been hitting stuff...why is the inner edge gone??????

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.

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.

 

[rivermobster]

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.

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.

 

[Jersey_Jeff73]

that looks almost looks like something was rubbing the tire make sure something didnt comeoff. or was driven on a flat

 

[Esco]

I get it

 

[77charger]

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

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

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.
