Alignment Problems - Honda Prelude Forum

every 6 months my alignment goes out on me and the steering isn't centered...my dealer is blaming it on my aftermarket springs

everytime i get them to align the car, its fine for a few months...i talked to another dealer and they said it might be the cross tie bars...

anyone have any ideas?

its a 2000 TypeSH with Tanabe SuperH springs

possibly the springs. you are probably full bumping the shocks since your shocks arent stiff enough for the springs especially at highway speeds. my alignment rarely goes off even if I hit a pot hole.

I am having all kinds of weird alingment problems, yet I'm not lowered.

I also have an SH. It appears the SH, not all but some, have alignment woes. Everything will be in spec, yet hard pulls to the right seem to be common.

Even with adjustments in caster(radius rods), and correted toe, my car drifts hard right. I've basicaly given up. I have 215/35/18s and that seems to make it more noticeable. Also, the steering wheel is slightly off centered to the right a little, no matter the adjustments I make.
