tire wear
About 32K miles ago I had new outer tie-rod ends, new struts, strut
bearings, and strut rubber stop all replaced by the dealer.
Immediately after I had new D60A2's installed. After the repairs I
felt the car did not handle as it once had. The alignment is strange.
The car follows the grade of the road. Driving in the left lane makes
the car pull left, driving in the right lane makes the car pull right?
Also, making very tight, slow turns (parking lot stuff) the wheel
seems to "hinge", meaning it is not smooth throught the turn radius.
None of these problems were present before the intended improvement.
The tires now show considerable more wear on the passenger side. The
car has been to the dealer several times, but they don't seem to fully
comprehend the situation. Any ideas, I need to replace tires again
and want to try to avoid wearing these prematurely as well.
Thanks
