Thanks for responding.

Vehicle pulling (or drifting) to either side after paying for a wheel alignment job is always a *misalignment* in itself, often disguised by incompetent local practitioners as 'normal and that's the way it is' .

It's not true that an adjustment 'countering' the vehicle pull would cause increased tyre wear.

It appears to me this Shall Alam alignment shop is just like any other incompetent practitioners commonly found in local market, as I'd encountered.....sighhhh...

I might want to differ. Just 1 thing to think about, do our roads really flat surface? if rain how the water flow if really flat surface? icon_idea.gif

As per what he said, normally when owners complain no straight they will play with the toe - + thus why you can see why usually the front left tires wear very fast especially the outer side wall threads. I already knew this since in secondary school as i knew few tire shop owners son and they feedback to me the best is follow the allignment machine settings and do tire rotation frequently. Some owners dont believe them and keep complaining and they tell customer go shopping complex car park (which is more flat surface) to try drive around as shop allignment machine is on flat surface and wont be the same as actual road condition outside. So some sifu in order not to get complaints will adjust again especially after test drive, thus why you can see usually they test driven and adjust few times manually before pass to customer but if you request to go up allignment machine again after the adjustment sure reading will out again.
