If i READ THIS RIGHT! yOU MAY NEED AN ALIGHNMENT, or front end parts are worn. Usually when vehicle pulls left or right that means vehicle is out of alighnment. or bad tires,Any garage that does alighnment, can fix it or tell you whats wrong. God-Bless!
wore out not engaging, remove the cover and alighn the gears, make sure starter wire isn't bare youlll get shocked some times you have to cycle the starter a few times and help it alighn
Yes indeed. Alighnment caused that to happen. Your alighnment was not done properly or was incomplete. The company that alighned your vehicle is responsible.
it sounds like when you put the "fly wheel" or harmonic balancer on you wiped out the crank position sensor. The engine ECM/computer needs the crank position sensor to know what cylinder is coming up to Top Dead Center to Inject the fuel and excite the spark plug. I had the same issue on my wifes car. when the new Balancer is installed the sensor needs to be realighned so the balancer doesnt hit the sensor and break it. I would have your local auto garage replace the sensor and alighn the sensor because a special tool is required to properly alighn the sensor with the balancer.
Steering rack isnt your problem. First question is has the car suspention been altered in any way. Lowerd or anything.
This more than likely is an alighnment issue. Inproper alightnment can cause a hard steering effort, Slow return to center after turning, and many other things.
Do you have any unusual tire wear?
The problem may be in your caster. Has the car ever been in a front end accident of a side collision tword the front end. If you caster between the driver and passanger side one wheel will be influenced more than the other, which will cause the wheels not to return to the steer ahead position giving you this tight steering issue. Dose you car have any pulling issues from one side to the other?
You will need to take it to a shop and get your alighnment checked. Alot of shops do a free alighnment check.
If your alighnment is bad Have them do the alighnment and ask the tech. and the manager to examin your caster settings. If Caster is way out then I would sugest getting a diagnostic alighnment done and checking the set back of the side in questions.
If the car was in a accident a bent lower control arm could be what is affecting your caster
Hi hope you fine.
is it just a spot or a continous line kind of?
is just a spot check the service kit on the front door (ETB ) alighnment might be touching the prnt drum units.
No you cannot! There is a switch on the convergence pnl for complete convergence. You can make things 10 times worse if you don't know what your doing.
Your going to need to hook up a cross hatch generator to adjust the internal convergence alighnments. Anytime, a tube is replaced, there is alot of alighnment involved with the convergence, and it cannot be alighned from the customers convergence controls. I suggest first you get a service manual, and follow the alighnment to the letter for the convergence. If you do not have a cross hatch generator, then your going to need a test disc(DVD) that has a cross hatch on it. If you do not have access to those two things(cross hatch generator or the test disc) you will need to call out a tech to do this alighnment to the set. They (service tech) don't tell you when you get an estimate for a picture tube that there is some alighnment involved that reguires special test equipment. Thats why they charge what they do. I wish I had better news for you, but without proper test equipment, this is going to be a tough battle. Good Luck
Please do not forget to rate this thread.
First thing to do is go to http://www.servicemanuals.net and get the service manual, as if you dont adjust these things in the proper order, it will never alighn or it will take you hours on end, because most of the time, when you move one thing, it affects the other alighnment, so if you do it off the cuff your having to do one, go back touch up another and may need to redo the same alighnment a hunderd times!~! See my point? Now if one section is not responding to the ajustment, or all of a suddenly the adjustments went out, and you try to adjust them, STOP! The alighnments may drift a little over the sets lifetime, but never will they go out drastacly, unless the convergence IC's go bad. They are the black rectangle IC's that start with STK and are mounted onto stand up metal heat sinks. If your not a tech or know the safty issues with a TV set, please call out a trained service person to assist you with this repair.
Wow for the convergence to shift you must have really moved it. First try the manual convergence on the set. if that dosent help then your gonna need a pro to come in and adjust it for you as it takes special equipment and the know how to do this kind of alighnment as its not a consumer alighnment sorry couldnt assist more. Good Luck
