I would take it down to Honda Cars of Bradenton and ask for BJ to look it over, they will probably charge you a diagnostic fee (which would be credited toward the repair) but at least you could find out what the problem is and then determine how you wan't to go about the repair.

Good Luck!!
He is good

I hope they'll let me register late. Looks like everything is good on the Audi.

Scratch that. They ordered the wrong tires. I knew they seemed too cheap. I didn't notice until they put them on. A family friend owns a shop locally. I would rather not tarnish their name as they are great people and it was an oversight and he feels really bad.

I decided to go with Dunlop Direza Z1 Star Specs. They ordered Dunlop Direza Z101's. Not the same. I trust those guys so I left my car there and ran some errands with my mom. When I got back I looked at the tires and they were not Star Specs. They had to take them off and put my old ones back on. I ordered Star Specs from TireRack.

I just had these mounted 2 weeks back before I went up to Helen, GA on vacation. Drove them up to meet the 500 mile break in period and then, let them rip. Very happy. You should not feel disappointed for this purchase...............and in 2 weeks, I'll make sure that you agree....................

What do you tire buffs think of the Bridgestone Potenza Pole-Position RE960's? I have two of these on the rear, and directional Falkens in the front.

I am on stock AP1 rims... for now.

I just put Continental ExtremeContact DW on all fours and they are great!! So smooth... totally different car and grip is tremendous and the tires look amazing!!

Continental ExtremeContact DW

I'm running 225/45/R17 up front and 255/40/R17 in the rears...

My Alignment was off the charts though... I have no idea how it was driving straight let alone completely sideways...
