I've sadly had my alignment done and they didnt seem to get the wheel very straight when adjusting the toe. I took the car back and as I suspected, the toe was WAY OUT. I'd suggest jacking the car up and giving everything a look over. I would think that it would be fairly apparent if any parts of the suspension have damage etc... If that looks fine and good, take the car back and have them put it on the rack, explain the issue and ask for a print out of it immediately when the put it on the rack.

RE: Alignment Issues
I've given it the look-over twice already and didn't notice anything obvious. I also have the print outs from both alignments. I don't think taking it back to them is going to solve anything seeing as I've already had them re-do it once and they still messed it up.

Can you scan and post the print outs?

Mine seems to be working now if you want to drive 2 seconds up the road.

Well seems that nothing is broken or bent Big GrinBig GrinBig GrinBig GrinBig GrinBig Grin

Took the car to Tire Kingdom in Simpsonville per Ted's recommendation and they sorted everything out for me. They do great work over there, I HIGHLY recommend them thumbsup

The tech there did say that he thinks my front driver's side strut is leaking fluid, but I took a look at it myself later on that day and didn't see any fresh fluid or moistness. I guess I'll find out in the long run if that side of the car reacts funky. That or I can check to see if it leaks anything after the autocross.

Now about getting those dents fixed Sad
