So on Thanksgiving I ran over some railroad tracks. Ok. Four of them. They were light rail tracks and I didn't see them until I realized the pavement ended. So I flipped a u-turn because I got stuck on a bridge behind a firetruck that was actively fighting a fire, tried to cross back over on light rail tracks, and ended up hitting the tracks as the pavement ended and four tracks came together into two. As one can imagine, I screwed up the alignment and sliced a tire sidewall requiring replacement (thats another story). So on Saturday I took it in and got it fixed. Yesterday I was driving and noticed the steering wheel wasn't straight; it was off perhaps 20 degrees to the left. I took it back today and they fixed it.
However, the problem i noticed is this.... The alignment numbers from when I came back don't match the numbers from Saturday. For example, here are some numbers form AFTER the alignment Saturday and today (Monday):
Left front Camber: 0.3 (Sat) -0.6(Mon)
Left front toe: 0.04 (sat) 0.13 (Mon)
Right front camber: 0.0(sat) 1.0 (Mon)
Right front toe: 0.04 (sat) -0.29 (Mon
total toe: 0.09 (Sat) -0.15(Mon)
Steer ahead: 0.00 (sat) 0.21(Mon)
ow did these get off so much in two days? Is it possible something else is damaged?
