    so i got my car aligned for 100$ and it was so nice to drive, then my car started getting so bumpy i thought i had a flat. i checked my tire pressure, than my lug nuts. and the front right tire nuts were hand tight. i tightened them and they were getting loose again.. i took the tire off and saw my sway bar broke in half on the right side. i replaced the bar and now my car isn't aligned. i didn't think the sway bar made the car so different, and its so bumpy again. i hate firestone, it happened the day after i brought it to them, and i will never win the argument.

    any ideas why my car isn't aligned anymore after this install? thanks guys

    Sway isn't an item that can change the alignment.

    don't argue.. go back and ask.

    "i checked my tire pressure, than my lug nuts. and the front right tire nuts were hand tight. i tightened them and they were getting loose again.."

    Explain that a little more because I don't quite understand what you mean.

    i dont really know how to explain more, i guess since all that was helping me turn was the tie rods. and the sway bar was not connected my car was having unbelievable shaking and somehow it made the lug nuts loose 2 times. it just really suxs that i paid for an alignment and now its not aligned anymore.
