I'll try to keep this short as possible car was out of alignment from sale... lots of alignments later it was still out.
Finally took it to a guy that does rally stuff and is very well respected and was told it needed shimmed at the rear and camber bolts at the front....
Left the car a full day to get sorted and when i first drove it, it felt a lot better except for one niggle.... when the steering wheel was centered the car drove to the right and felt like the front left tyre was flat or that the car sat slighty lower on the front left when driving.... i parked the car up checked the tyres and also looked at the car from front on etc... there was no difference in height at all and the tyres were bang on.
So took it back and explained that the car was driving to the right when the wheel was held centered and he told me to sit in the car and center the wheel for him, i did so and left him to do what he does.
He came back with the car for me to drive saying he had recentered the wheel and made a slight adjustment.
This time when i drove the car it felt like the front right tyre was now flat/front right sitting lower... again i checked the ride height and tyre pressures and all was good.
So i'm trying to figure out what is that he could be ajusting on the front end that could cause this sensation when im driving ? right now it feels like i was 200 stone when driving at the front right feels off when driving similar to how a car feels when it's been parked up for a few days and develops a flat spot.
Could it be unequal tie rod lengths ?
