Default Re: Help reading Alignment

I owned tire stores for over 10 years---I say this to let you know that feel that the problem is in the tires---The alignment could have been done BETTER-for sure, and should be redone---FIRST make sure ALL the tire have the same pressure, before taking ANY readings---An alignment will not cause the "wobble"---Alignments will cause a pull, a drift, even poor tire wear, but not a shake, a bounce, or a back and forth in the steering wheel; not with the numbers that you have---I guess you could knock it out so bad that you could create a problem, but your numbers are no where near that bad---Fix them, but you have something else going on here---Your present numbers are not that far from the pre-alignment numbers---Check to see if the either front tire "wobbles" on the balance machine---bad belts, or just a plain bad build of the tire would be what I would be looking for first---Check the rears too, you would feel them MORE in the seat than the wheel, but still check---BTW, what brand of tires do you have now and what did you take off?---Good luck, Jimmy
