Hey guys,
this is a bit of a long winded explanation but sometime back in Oct of last year my car went through a milled section of road at a higher than average speed. The result of that was a bulged sidewall on the tire of my front passenger side, bent rim, and also a bent steering knuckle that was later diagnosed.
The first time i was at the shop they replaced the tire and fixed the wheel for me, the second time in the shop (after i had noticed the car was pulling) they had diagnosed the problem being with my front passenger steering knuckle as they weren't able to get the car back into alignment specs. After replacing the knuckle the alignment was successfully completed.
Fast forward to last week, i still wasn't satisifed with how the car was handling since getting it back in dec(can't really explain it into words but i could feel something was off) so i brought the car to the shop again to have their techs figure it out. They inform me that the rear wheels were mis-aligned somehow and so they re-did the alignment free of charge.
I've posted pics of the alignment specs from December 2012 (when i got the steering knuckle replaced) and the specs from February 2013 (last time i took the car in) and what confuses me is the fact that the alignment numbers are "off". Shouldn't the "After Measurements" Column specs match up with those from December? I notice almost every row is slightly off in respect to the previous angles, does this seem right? Can any alignment/suspension experts weigh in on this?
I'm ultimately just paranoid on the car's driving dynamics since this incident and having the alignment re-done after only two months makes me think that there may be further suspension damage... I've been super careful in regards with bumps and other road irregularities so there's no other explanation i can give as to why it went out of alignment so quick. what are your guys thoughts?
