[QUOTE="donna723, post: 163261, member: 1883"] Heather, I hate to tell you this, but it sounds like it may need way more than a simple wheel alignment. My son (the mechanical genius) bought an older model Chevy S-10 that had this same problem. When the steering wheel was straight, the front tires weren't! He only paid a few hundred dollars for it. The guy he bought it from had run it in to a curb or something at a high rate of speed and knocked the whole front end out of kilter. Of course, my son knew what he was getting in to and he knew that he could fix it himself. He had to replace the whole front end of the truck - a very ambitious undertaking - [I]then[/I] he had the wheels aligned. And it's still not perfect, but he drives it. I hope it turns out to be something that a simple wheel alignment will fix, but I wouldn't bet on it. I'd be thinking of ways your son can earn some extra money to pay for the car repairs! [/QUOTE]
