Hey All....
I need some help from you guys on a general alignment question.
I just had new tires put on my wifes 02 Saturn Vue (fwd). I also had the vehicle aligned at the same time.
After the work, the car rides smoothly, and doesnt pull to sides, but it also doesnt seem to pull itself straight if you release the wheel. It does not want to "find center" if you will, when you let go of the wheel....it wont stay fully locked over left or right, but going through a moderate sweeping turn, especially to the left, I can let go of the wheel and it continues through the radius. This is especially taxing on the highway, as I have to make constant correction to keep the vehicle straight.
If I were to make a non-educated guess, I would have to say the toe - in is not properly adjusted. (Looking at the front of the vehicle it almost looks as if the fronts are toed out, though it could be an optical illusion.
Help me call out a bad shop.
John
