I changed my tie rod end and rack end recently. Then I went for wheel alignment. Came out the wheel is straight but the steering is not. What seems to be the cause?

Refering to this display/screenshot, has the writer got the corrections reversed/terbalik?
*
this web correct. myself got handful experienced jor.
the other web told u terbalik rite. i know the reasons.

QUOTE(amduser @ Dec 27 2021, 02:04 PM)
tyre pressure seems incorrect, it will actually result in more under/oversteer instead
but on actual road, tyre pressure give very less correction on under/oversteer, not as much as adjust the stiffness of suspension
*

we play pressure becos it no cost. change suspension require dollar spent

Is it, on an Avanza?
Ok, will give it a try on my Avanza as I can feel some over-steer right now.
Rear tread depth is low though at around 2 -2.5 mm (at about 100-105k kms usage).
Front tread depth now is about 3 -3.5 mm at about 83k kms usage.
Right Front outer edge wear more than inside edge and Left Front like a difference of say 0.5 mm due to previous mis-alignment I think.
*
the key is pam front wheel correctly. twist steer at shopping mall simen type car park no squeeze noise = just right.
then increase rear wheeel accordingly.

the difference between front vs back is just 10kpa my final results

without independant suspension, we still can adjust tyre air pressure to overcome him

I send my car for alignment as when drive straight the steering is turn right.....
But the shop when do alignment no pump all 4 tyre balance....
But after done, drive steering not steering to right anymore...
But when I send the same car few weeks again to check brake...
The alignment feel off and steering need turn to right abit to keep car straight....
Should I just send to service centre or find other shop?

steering wheel turn right in straight line= car is drifting left. congrats we all same issue rclxm9.gif

Therefore I would suggest you search around for a really competent one, which is very very difficult to come by.
Good luck, and wish me luck too

fortunate for me to find a skillful young sifu to conduct alignment/ problem solving. without branded machine.
as he always mention to me "steering senget is not alignment problem".
i dont bother his speech whatever, just pay and get it done pls

QUOTE(Alex9892 @ Jun 25 2025, 07:39 PM)
Thank you guys for advice. My current tyre is Conti CC7. I think i will bring my car to tyre shop and let them check to see if it still safe and in good condition so i dont need to change them.

cc7 still very new yet.
