Continental Extreme Alignment Issue
I purchased the tires back in feb. Got it aligned and it had pulled to the right pretty bad. Mechanic then swapped front tires and walah it was fixed. I changed the upper ball joints on the car (Kinetix) being that the old ones were shot and got it aligned. Car continues to pull to the right. I was there when they did the alignment and readings were as follows.
front camber: -0.6 -0.6 front toe. .1 .1 front caster. 5.6 5.5 rear camber: -1.8 -1.9 rear toe: .1 .1 any thoughts on this is appreciated....its been on the rack 5 or 6 times and no one is coming up with solutions.

Your alignment numbers look good. Swap the front tires around again. If it doesn't pull then. You have what is called a radial tire pull. You got one tire that ain't right.

ALSO IT DIDN'T PULL when I drove on Friday and didn't pull when I went to get the alignment done after the upper ball joint installed....tech drove it and went straigt as an arrow but the camber was really off along with the toe as well. And I mean REALLY out of spec

UPDATE:
FYI it was a bad alignment rack. It was a jeff bean type? the one with the four reflectors that read of the center mast of the machine. I took it to a second shop and paid the guy 45 bucks for an alignment. Car nolonger rides pulling to the right. I notified previous shop that their alignment maching/rack is COMPLETELY OUT OF CALIBRATION and that they need to get it fixed being that I paid for a lifetime alignment and I don't want them to lose my business or anyone elses and to contact me as soon as repairs are performed. Hope this helps anyone with similar issues
