发帖数: 210 | 1 So I went to local Honda dealer for an alignment after my big front end job.
I thought it would be a straight forward thing, but I was wrong.
First time, I got the car back, surprisingly find out it pulls to the left.
I then went back. The service advisor seems did not beleive me. I pointed
out that they did not only get the alignment wrong, but also set the tire
pressure too high, 37-38 psi on all four. I got the pressure back to 32 but
did not seem to help solving the pulling problem. The | r**********e

For checking the struts, have a look of the rubbers, see whether the rubbers
are broken, the leaking is hard to be found, you might need to use your
fingers to touch, see whether there is oil leak.
I also need alignment to be done for my car too, I replaced the tie rod ends
and the bearing, didn't do a good job and marked the tie rod ends
accurately.

It's hard to get the tie rod end exactly to where it should be. So I did
not evern bother to mark it. Get an alignment for a peace of mind, since it
will not always pull if alignment is off - you may find out later from
uneven wear of your tires.
Yes, I checked the struts carefully, they are all dry. Strange thing is
that I found out there are no rubber bellows on both front struts. Don't
know why. All struts are working just fine, as of now.
