Hey so my car (07 GT) is lowered on S Techs. No Camber kit.

I took it to Maidas right after for and alighnment.
They did it, but said something like some adjustment coulndt be done.. only by dearler.. or it cant be adjusted.

Anyways.. the car was driving fine below 100.... However i drive to barrie alot from Toronot. and my car is pulling pretty bad to the left when i rerach speeds exess of 100KM. If i let go of the wheel, the care continues to drift to the left.

Any advice? i dont want to ruin my tires, .... should another alignment be done? What should i tell Mazda when i take it in for an oil? will they jus tell me to put my stock springs back on?

Help Please...

thanks

Can you remember specifically what they said they couldn't adjust?

It shouldn't pull to one side, even if they couldn't adjust something, unless something is damaged.

If there's something (like perhaps camber) that they couldn't adjust, it should still be the same on both sides. You'd kill your tires... but still track straight.

could be elevation of the road. I notice this when my car was lowered.
Keep an eye out for that. If that is not the case, check your tire pressure.
Did Midas give you an alignment result sheet?
Also note that on the 3: we cannot adjust rear camber (toe yes, camber no).

Okay.. yeah Maidas said they couldnt adjust the rear camber... bc it was impossible.. i will check my car i know they gave me a sheet.. i will post the specs... Also it might be the elevation of the road.. meaning on the middle or left lane the road dips a bit to the left.. is it possible my car is following that dip?? Do u think i should tell the dealership of this prob if its continues? or should i get another alignment?

if its cause of elevation, you can't do anything about it.
I never had weird wear even though I had -2.2 of camber on all 4.
my tires wore normally (camber was within spec or so said the sheet)

Mine pulls too. I have to try an alignment. I'll let you know when I get one if it helps.

mine pulls ever so slightly , with camber kit . Could this be due to the slight indent in the roads ?
