Jacked Up Celica 1996 - Now Suspension Problem

[daveaustin]

Hi

i have just had four tyres fit on my 1996 Celica 1.8st, and now have a suspension steering problem.

The tyre fitter jacked the car up from the front offside, so high up he could remove both front and rear tyres. Then the same on the other side.

Then when i drove home, found the steering was pulling to the frontside, and the steering is no longer centralised.

Any one got any ideas of possible help to sort it.

thanks

was it a young kid who did it with not much experience?

Surely you just lift enough to get the wheel off, without trying to flip the car on its side!

been mentioned before about coloured dots on new tyres representing the way a tyre should be fitted if they are non directional tyres. plus the extra tread thickness tends to make wear and tear on suspensions rubbers etc more prenounced.
