Hello Guy . Why I Can't Get My Prelude Si To Run Straight.done 2 Computer Alignmemt The Print Out Is Fine,new205-55-15- Tire And Rim . And When I Use 185-65-15 Tires The Prelude Run Straight ,but Doesn't Handle Good, Prefer Size 205.anyone Has This Problem

 

HAVE YOU HAD THE REAR END ALIGNED AS WELL. THE REAR HAS BALL JOINTS THAT WEAR OUT TOO! THEY TOLD ME AT MY ALIGNMENT SHOP THAT THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE SURE IT'S RIGHT, IS TO REPLACE ALL BALL JOINTS WITH ADJUSTABLE ONES. THESE WILL RUN YOU ROUGHLY $80.00 PER A CORNER PLUS INSTALL, AND ALIGNMENT. THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT ONES THOUGH 0-1.5 DEGREES, 1.5-3.0 DEGREES. MOST FRONT END SHOPS JUST SET THE TOE, AND COLLECT THE DOUGH. SO BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU TAKE IT. THEY CAN CHECK TO SEE WHICH ONES YOUR CAR WILL NEED. YOU COULD INSTALL THEM YOURSELF, AND THEN TAKE IT BACK FOR THE ALIGNMENT. HOPE THIS WAS HELPFUL!

 

I had all 4wheel alighed no result ,actually i did 3 timesand the print out is perfect,so you also has these problem before you could not drive straight and you change the ball joint then is straight

 

the rear alignment (toe,camber) has nothing to do with the car pulling. if the car pulls it has to be in the front.

some cars factory specs call for the cross camber to be off more then .5 degrees to compensate for torque steer...road crown. but not the prelude. but still the road has a crown to it (for water drain purposes) so sometimes the car might pull right bc of that.

post your specs (printout that the shop gave you) and i will tell you if the car is pulling because of camber /caster.
if you let go off the wheel.....would the car pull or is your wheel crooked? if wheel crooked then toe wasnt adjusted properly.
also rotate your tires side to side. rf to lf. does it pull the opposite direction? if yes then you have a tire pull.

 

actually,the printout is about a year ago its gone,anyway brand new tire,brand new rim balanced. when i let go of the wheel ,it pull the wheel and the tire.funny things is, when i put tire size 185-65-15 then the car drive straight ha-ha.then it does not handle good like the 205-55-.that sucks.done tire rotation

 

rotate your 205s on the fornt. car should pull opposite direction. just bc it is a new tire doesnt mean that it is perfect.

they 205s will be harder to keep the vehicle sraight. (not saying pulling, just saying steering back and forth) the 205s will "grab" all the cracks in the road harder so to say then the smaller tread patch tires.

 

No joking,i had brought 3set of brand name,brand new tire,just wish it would go straight.I used to think the cause is the tire.is your a prelude is it straight.i thnk is pretty common

 

i just saw you edited your post.....how did the rotation go? any changes?
