Wheel Alignment Issues

J7Optima · 06-30-2008, 06:39 PM

Has anyone had any issues with wheel alignment? I have a 2006.5 LX 4-Cyl Auto w/46k and my dealer told me its severely out of alignment. I confirmed this through the tire wear pattern & am having a 4 wheel alignment done on Wednesday. I realize alignment needs to be done as a part of maintenance but isn't this a bit early for that type of problem?

Depends on what's happened during the miles the car has driven. Certainly your car is old enough to have met with a pothole or curb, so it's hard to say. One pothole or curb can do in your alignment.

I had an alignment done at 15,000 miles. It was off a little bit, not much. I used Goodyear and for $69.95 I get lifetime alignments. If it saves me a set of tires along the way it's a pretty good deal.
