I took my recently purchased 95 850 T5-R Sedan to the local dealership for an alignment last week, since the car was pulling to the right when I bought it. The alignment fixed some of the problem, but not all of it. I took it back to the dealership today and they tried switching the front tires (left-right and vice versa) in order to correct this problem. Once again, it fixed some of the problem but not all of it. Then they came to me and said that they had missed something when they had done the original alignment. Apparently the computer's figures indicated that the left-front wheel was positioned inward, which was caused by a bent component in the suspension. They said that the defective part was not visible by the eye, so they would have to do it by trial-and-error. Has anyone had this sort of problem in the past, and can offer me any kind of help or guidance here?

Thanks,

Ron
