The FSM dosen't Show you how to align the front end.

letting go of the steering wheel). Any info on what to do

That could be as simple as an alignment problem, or maybe something loose in the front end.

You could just jack the front of the car up and check for any loose or worn parts, like tie-rod joints or suspension joints. Pry up and down using a pry bar to check for worn joints.

If it looks ok, why don't you go for an complete alignment? :smilewinkgrin:

What happen in the first place that caused this is,

My wife spun out in gravel lost control, and nailed a curb.

pretty good, it bent the front right wheel, pretty good,

and it even bent the inside edge of the rear left wheel.

A alighnment shop will charge you about $40-50 for a front alighnment, like 80-100 for all 4 wheels, just bring it to a pro for this, I personally dont reccomend people do thier own alighnments.

I did my own, and it was really good, but ever since I used my steering rack as an engine stand it has been off. :satisfied:

Doing it yourself is not a problem, the hard part is to have the equipment to do it right, unless you can do it yourself in a shop or buy the equipment to do it, but I don't know anyboby who has the money to buy such equipment and accuracy is needed if you don't want to cause premature tire wear.

< Keep in mind that 13b ace is pretty much a genius and not just around cars. He is like McGyver, his toolbox for the car has a rubber band, a paper clip, and a adjustable wrench<---- thats all he needs
