About two weeks ago, I had a flat tire on my front left tire and I had both of the front tires replaced with the same OEM tires under the suggestion of the people from the board.

I got them installed at IoC and had the wheel alignment done there.

However, I've noticed in the past couple of days that when my steering wheel is straight, it swerves slightly to the left on roads that I've never had problems with. Should this go away after the tires get broken in or should I go back to IoC and see if they can do the alignment again?

It's annoying to have to adjust my steering wheel just to go straight.

Any information on this is most appreciated.

 

it can be alightment....or the wheel could be damaged... or.... the air in both tires are at different PSI's. I'd check the tire pressure first.

 

i do think that brand spankin new tires arent the best to 'judge' your alignment with based on driving on the roads, but id take it back after a few burnouts if it still occurs....lol, ok no burnouts but it'll be hard to get some wear in this cold *** weather. id call IOC just to give them a heads up, let em know your gonna give it a week and if u still have probs. ur gonna bring it back in....also check ur PSI in right/left side front and rear...

 

I don't like the idea that the wheel could possibly be damaged.

I'll check the tire pressure then.

Thanks for the advice.

 

it is probably an alignment problem. they just didn't have to steering wheel perfectly straight when they aligned it., if it was a tire pressure problem the car would go straight until you let go of the wheel and then it would start to pull

 

How much do you guys charge for wheel alignment? Or do you think IoC will do it for free since they didn't do it right the first time...

 

If a shop didn't do something right the first time and charged me again to redo it, all hell would break loose. Take it back and demand it to be looked at and fixed.

 

It should be free. I've had tire work done there myself, and there were pretty good.
