Help with alignment issue on Honda fit
 
Swift springs were installed on my 09 Honda Fit.

Drove from 2 weeks and 400 miles and then got alignment at Monro Mufflers.

Drove after alignment for a few miles and noticed car pull slightly to right for fraction of second. Didn't think much of this. Next day noticed that the steering wheel is has to be turned slightly to right to make car go straight.

The alignment just changed the toe to 0 degrees. Nothing else was changed.

They will look at it tomorrow. Other mod is Progress AR bar.

Thanks.

Is the road you're driving on level? It might be cambered or crowned for water drainage.

No.
It the same on all the roads I drove on.

Have you taken it back to have them look it over?

If you are lowered, your camber and caster, which are likely not adjustable, will become more exaggerated, which means that any tolerance between sides will become more exaggerated as well.

They redid the alignment Wednesday. I drove it for 40 miles no issues.
The mechanic (not the same person who worked on it the 1st time) said it was likely the electric power steering. ???

After I drove it I looked by at the car and noticed that he didn't shut the hood correctly. Good thing I was only on highway for a few minutes. Ahhh.

If I could have found a good place that specializes on alignment and was affordable I would have gone there first.

gen 1 and 2 FIT are fun to drive machines.

Guessing they forgot to reset the steering the first time.
