    I put new front struts and strut mounts on my GTP and the idiots at TK can't get it to drive right. I was perfect before, except for the struts, drove strait, steering wheel was straight. Now the wheel is crocked, and the car pulls to the right. They couldnt get it right so they gave me my money back anyway, now I have to find a place that "knows" how to do and alighnment on a car. If I could afford a machine I would buy on so I could do it myself. AAAAAARRRRRR!

    Did you buy adjustable camber bolts? Generally, those are only needed if you've lowered your car, but even if you haven't, there are instances where the camber needs to be adjusted, and ours aren't adjustable from the factory. I know when I had a bunch of front end suspension stuff done to mine at the beginning of this year, the camber was off, and I was told to get adjustable bolts and bring it back to finish the job. Still drove pretty straight, but the stats showed the camber was slightly out of range.

    Ok, so the alignment has been completed and the car drives normal, only now the steering wheel is between 11 and 12 oclock position. Man it really bugs me when the wheel is not in the middle, I drove it around on all different roads and it is the same. I did not have time to take it back today, probably sometime this week.
    Will they ever get it right!!!!!!!

    Ok, put over 200 miles since the Sears alignment, I can say car drives great and my gas milage has gone up about 2 points on the highway. The steeering wheel still a little to the left, somtimes its straight, must be the road surfaces.
