Re: 95 Integra - Ongoing Alignment Problem

i agree with tegger on this one, i wouldn't want to deal with you as a customer in my shop either, if you know what the problem, then fix it yourself is what i would say. if the adjustments can't be made they probably set the toe (correctly) and did as best as possible with the rest. bring to a frame alignment shop, check control arms to see if they are bent, its been whacked. sh*t can't be turned into sugar just because you want to.

Hello Everyone, need some advice....
I've been having this ongoing problem with my alignment since I got my Integra from my cousin. Yes it was also involved in a front and rear collision (by her), but I don't see any signs of frame damage. The inner walls are once again beginning to wear with no wear on the outside yet. The tires were purchases 6-8 months ago. About 2 years ago I took the car into an alignment mom and pop shop and after a year the same results came back. After I brought this up with them they pretty much blew it off and it wasn't worth my time settling up in court. I was more pissed off that I caught them as they did nothing with the tie rod since I had to use acetylene them to get them to move so that I could adjust them. Seeing that the tires were worn in the inner walls ie. toe out, I moved the tie rod in two turns. Well since I noticed the problem occurring again I tried turning both sides in an additional two turns which made my tires start to squeak loudly, so I moved them back. I've thrown the towel in since I'm not going to get this fixed. Now I'd like to know where I can take the car to get the alignment done and get it done right. I'd be willing to get two new tires as well but I want to be assured that if they don't fix it and the exact same problem occurs, that they will comp me for the tires. I know that it is unlikely that anyone would do this so I need to know what people think I should do at this point.
Thanks in advance, Nick
