If it has been like this for 7 years it can't be too serious so is it
worth doing anything at all?

Exactly, if he changes things now he'll be back later saying it fells funny
to drive.

Hi all,

Thanks for responding. To clarify some things.

- tires have been switched, changed, pressure checked, etc.
Issue is not the tires. Especially when they were brand new.

- I didn't put the rear wheel alignments in, because
they are all within the spec. The alignment jocks
have told me that the problem is in the front.

- the alignments have been expert 4 wheel aligments.
Alignments have been done at Toyota which had a really expensive
laser alignment system, at Sears when I got the tires,
and at the best alignment jock I could find.

- multiple mechanics have not seen any issues with the body
or frame.



Questions:

- Car had been in accident. There are new tires, lower control arm
and wheel bearing. Expert four wheel alignment done. Body
and
frame
look fine.


There is some concurrence that it could be a bent strut.

But one says it could be many things. As far as damaged/new
parts are concerned, if it is not any of the above, and not the
strut, what other realistic possibilities are left?


> Take it to a laser jig alignment and get them to measure the
bodywork/chassis.

- what kind of shop has the laser jig? What do I
look up in the yellow pages of the telephone book?
Automotive - Alignment. A special machine shop?


Thanks a lot

If it is none of the above, then the chassis is probably bent.

A good body shop will have a laser chassis alignment machine.
