Default some problem after alignment.

** To be fair, I'll withhold name of the alignment shop untill I'm confident that they screwed up**


after getting front/rear anti-bumpsteer kit installed, I head over to alignment shop and had alignment done.

later at night, some motorist flags me down and ask me to roll down the windows.

"hey, your front wheel is wobbling pretty bad have it checked out!"

alright.. wtf.. so I called my friend and had him drive along beside me.


Right front wheel is wobbling about half an inch or so..

so after making sure nothing is falling off, I drove it home and parked it for now.



at RG,
steering rack was moved up by 20mm. that was it.
we never took off front wheel.
we never touched single part relating to front suspension.

how can some up screw up front wheel so bad by doing alignment?

I'm about to head down and jack up front wheel and have second look,
what should I check for?

try jacking the car up and see if the wheel is wobbling, if so then somethings not connected, if not then the alignment must be preeeeeeeety bad
