      Help with alignment

      Hi guys just wanted to know if anyone had the specs on how the front wheels should be aligned on a 09 Barina(AUS model).

      I have had the car aligned twice but the car still pulls to the right and i would have to steer it left to keep the car straight. I dont know if it is an alignment issue or somthing else which is causing this.

      Thanks in advance

      First question, are you running after market rums?
      Have you checked your wheel balance?

      Running on the stock steel rims the car came with and got the tires balanced and found no buckles on the rims.

      Either that or they didn't center the wheel close enough for the toe adjustment. But that would drive straight just the steering wheel would be turned, so letting go of the wheel does it pull or drive straight offcenter?

      Re: Help with alignment

      Having the same problem. N I do have aftemarket rims. Went from 14s to 17s and got a new tire this morning cause there was a bubble in the right front tire so husband came back told me e had to switch the right front to the left front since it kept pulling right n although intent do it that bad it's pushing left now!! Idk if it's cause of the wind since it's pretty windy out here n it usually does that cause my car is so small....any advice. I heard it was aligment but could it b just the rims n how do I fix the problem.

      It's always a good idea to have your alignment checked when you get new wheels/tires. Helps correct the problems at the beginning so the tires don't wear as fast...
