Is this proper alignment done?

[Cyee_29]

This is a very technical question.

EXPERTS, I would love to see your comments :)

 

I went to do wheel alignment for my Vios at Stamford Tyre at Bukit Batok.

After adjusting with all the laser machine fitted on, I test drive, realize my steering wheel is tilted to one side,

I went back, the mechanic use a spanner to adjust both side of wheels with both side full lock respectively, to make the steering wheel straight.

 

This, may I ask, renders a proper alignment job?

It seems to be done wherever I go. Hankook tyre, Riverview Auto, all do the same this.

 

I ask them, won't the alignment by laser be off once you adjust this?

All say no, but I doubt.

 

my car also got alignment problem ... if driving holding the steering straight then the car will go straight, but if let go of the steering, the car will go straight for 2 to 3 seconds, then slowly tilted to the left. Went to 3 different workshop for adjustment but still the problem is there. Not sure your guys having the same issues or is it a normal road tilting condition ... my previous car doesnt seem to have this problem

Normal tilt lah. Got problem if over time, u need to tilt steering more to the left/right for the car to go straight.

Google "wheel side slip" - there are ton of information regarding wheel lateral movements.
