The left front tire is not inline with the right and when in four wheel pulls hard to that direction. i checked the tire rods and they were compeletely straight, whats causing this problem. please tell me nothings wrong with strut just bought it and want to by mods not replacement parts.

 

Sounds like you may only have to adjust your toe. Make yourself an aligning tool with wood and a couple of long rods (metal coathangers will work.) You will use this to span between the front center of your front wheels and the back center of your front wheels. Measure the diffrence between the front of the tire and back of the tire side to side and adjust your tie rods accordingly untill the tires are the same measurement front and back center to center. You won't do this to the back tires they are not adjustable. A lot of alignment shops still use this method on our cars. Crude but it does a good job. I have one I made for myself and I check my bikes regularly. It will save on tire wear as well.

thank you very much, i was really worried, but how would it have been knocked out of alignement. ps. couls you sned pm me the insturctions to make one id really appreciate it.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

This is a good method of doing an alignment for sure. Be sure your wheels are not bent as a wobble in a tire will throw the measurements way off.

I would also suggest you carefully inspect the front end for damage as something has had to knock things out of alignment. Bent spindals, A-arms and frame members are common failures.

 

the only damage i can see is that their is a small dent in the rim of the tire thats out of alignment.
