Got an alignment done on my front wheels, but my vehicle is still pulling to the right. I jacked it up, and immediately noticed that the tire comes right up with the car, whereas, the driver side tire takes a bit to actually lift off of the ground. I also noticed that the toe is off a bit on the rear passenger side wheel. Any recommendations on how to diagnose? I want to replace the part(s) myself and take it to get aligned like I did with my front suspension.

Hi Edgar,

Here are the alignment specs. Can you send me the print out that they gave you after they did the alignment? They should have checked the rear. Maybe they didn't adjust them but it should still be on the printout. I can help you interpret them to see if there is an issue in the rear.

As for the wheels lifting off the ground at different rates, that doesn't seem like an issue by itself. As long as the alignment is okay and it drives okay, then I would not worry about how long it takes to lift off the ground.
