Would an alignment help this issue?
So I just bought a car Friday. It's a 1996 honda accord coupe. My front left (drivers side) tire seems to be pushed back a bit. Like closer to the back of the wheel well rather than the center. The car pulls to the left as well so I'm sure I need an alignment but what would cause my tire to be pushed so far back and not in the center of the wheel well like the other wheels?
It seems like if it were pushed back maybe 2 inches or so it would be rubbing the plastic in the wheel well.
This is MAJOR accident damage! No "alignment" is going to fix this. The parts in the suspension are BENT, and probably more than that. You can't drive it like that. This is a huge problem. It won't go away by itself.
Best money spent? See the i-car body shop in your area. They use some equipment that can measure, pull, replace parts, realign.
get one guy on it start to finish and replace the bent arm, fix the body where it attaches and check the strut, check the steering.
It's possible the vehicle has accident damage. You will want to inspect the suspension and frame for damage or bends.
Alignment will only move the suspension very little, and probably would not fix the issue you are having.
Get the damage repaired first, then go for the alignment.
- What would you do if a lady around 30-37 told you that you were useless and would never amount to anything? She's a well dressed white lady with a brand new Honda SUV and she has a daughter that looks about 12 that is also well dressed and the girl is being rude and both are being very rude to the guy at the counter at Subway. Would it be wrong to curse out the old witch who tried to start a fight and cursed out the subway worker and you?
- What is this sound coming from under the truck brand new 2018 honda ridgeline after I did the wheel alignment? When I back up It has that quick initial metal stretching sound and I only noticed it after the alignment was done. What is it and how should I fix this?
- What are the front tire alignment specs for Honda Trx300ex 2007? My steering is leaning to the left on my atv and I'm having problems finding the specs on front end alignment if anyone can find or knows the specs please tell me!
- Purchase dropped Honda Ruckus? Front wheel alignment is slightly off? I'm looking to purchase a Honda ruckus. I found a used one that was dropped several times. The steering alignment is off so you have to turn the handlebars slightly to the side to go straight. There's no damage to the body but I'm wondering if this is something that can easily be repaired or should I stay away. Overall it runs well and has a little over 4K miles.
