Default Drifting to the right.

Just got back from Tire Kingdom with a fresh alignment and now the car drifts to the right slightly. I took it back to have it rechecked ad was regailed by the air wrench jockey about how the crown in a road makes a car drift to the right. Well duh! I've only been driving for 40 years. He didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. So I guess I flushed that $72.00 down the cra;per.

When I go to the next shop what are the CORRECT alignment settings for caster, camber and toe-in?

I did put larger tires and wheels (225x40x18) on this 2001 Accord but that shuld not make any diffrence on alignment settings righ?

Thanks for the info,

ROADAPPLE

No, the tires won't be a problem. I have the same size on my 99. Did you have the tires before the alignment? The high performance tires will definately drift and and tramline more than all seasons, but if you are feeling a consistant drift to the right, go back and make them do it again. Or go to a different place you feel is better and I guess eat the 72 bucks.
