Let's say your car is in perfect alignment, and then your wife drives it for a few years and: o hits a few potholes, and
o pulls in too far and hits the front tires against the cement block at the end of the parking stall
Now the car is out of alignment (pulls to one side a bit at freeway speeds).
You then take the car to Sears (or wherever) and they adjust the toe-in (since that's all that is typically adjustable on modern sedans, right?), and the car is now all-better.
Q: in general, what (slightly) bent suspension component did the Sears toe-in adjustment compensate for? Is it:
a) a slight bend in the front axle spindle? b) a slight bend in the tie rod? c) a slight bend in the control arm? d) other?
Thanks in advance.
