Steering alignment
I replaced two of the tires which were really worn out and i did not want to take a chance with the buffalo winter. The other two tires were brand new when I had purchased the car 6-7 months back. I had the new tires put on the front and the old ones at the back. But having the new tires on the front dis-aligns my streering. Once I put the old tires back on the front, the streering again aligns properly. Now the question is why would only the new tires create an alignment problem? Should I get a steering alignment done with the new tires at the front? If I do that, would it dis-align the steering again when I rotate the tires? |

Usually when you purchase new tire you get an alignement done,but that's my
vision of things. If you buy "budget" tires i guess it is not really necessary but if you buy expensive ones(like i do) you get it aligned. Good luck! P.S. if you get an alignement make sure everything is tight and sound(bearings,bushings,tie rod,ball joints)if not,they wont do it.You will have to get that fix before.
