Default Alignment problem....

I was wondering if anyone can help me out here. I would go in for an alignment and maybe 2 weeks later my alignment would be way off and I mean everything- caster, toe, camber. And all four corners would have different alignment numbers.

Everything aligns straight on the rack but it literally throws itself off. I have already gone through 3 pairs of rear tires and 2 fronts, in a matter of a couple months.

Does anyone know what is going on.....

are they tightening everything back? are you always going to the same place? get an alignment package for an unlimited amount of alignments for X years

Im getting another one this weekend. And yes I have taken it to different shops.
I dont want to get an alignment done every week. Thats a waste of my time.

and i would imagine going through tires like that is a waste of money

something is broken or is being done incorrectly for it to keep coming out of alignment, have you asked the people aligning it to see what's up?

i don't think multiple shops would keep doing the same thing incorrectly

are the roads in your area terrible? do you hit curbs a lot?

Is it just one corner changing, or every corner?

Ask the next guy who aligns it. The 2 places that i go to for alignments have guys that are very knowledgeable. One has been doing it for over 20 years, the other approximately 10. They always fix my alignment issues and then some.

Something has to be wrong, and they should be able to tell you what is messed up, then you can see what your options are for that.
