Wheel alignment issue

[leok]

The other day I took my EG4 to Bridgestone to be wheel aligned. After picking up the car I noticed when the steering wheel is straight, the car starts to veer left. Complained to the mechanic and he advised that maybe the front tyres needed to be swapped around, so he did that and nothing was resolved. Would this be the result of the mechanics not knowing how to align the wheels properly or is it possible the previous owner of my car has removed the steering wheel and put in a aftermarket one and then back to stock, but had aligned the steering wheel straight when they fitted it back on?

Ask for a print-out of the alignment so we can help you for sure.

Also remember cars veer left naturally because of the curvature of the road (convex, to encourage water to flow to the gutters) which should only be minor.

likely the wheel alignement machine is out of spec or the operter on the day didn't know what they were doing
But likely think it out of spec

How much is out by? going to left by small persent or alot ?

You could try go to another wheel alignement/ tyre place, get them to check cambers and toe front and rear
Bridgestone could of only check your front toe and not rear

Yeh I know about the roads :), but this is pretty bad, the steering goes left by a lot if you keep the steering wheel straight. I'll probably try a suspension specialist and see if they can do better. Thanks for the advice guys.
