    just a quick question for people who know about cars. Is Tire alignment tracking something that can be always fixed or is there cases where you may get it fixed but within a week because of an underlying issue it will be out of alignment badly again?

    Thanks

    If any part of your suspension or steering is loose (ball joints, bushings, etc.) it's impossible to set the tracking / wheel allignment.
    Even if garage will do it, it might be off straight away.

    Good garage should always check suspension before doing allignment. If they don't do it, I wouldn't go there to do allignment.

    Thanks, that gives me a better understanding. Would reckon there's an underlying problem. I kerbed it once or twice parking so I might have damaged something.
