R56 07 justa alignment spec?
i had alignment done with two rear new tires replacement from firestone. And they took about like an hour for only rear alignment.
I just test drove on freeway..I almost had an accident because of f**king alignment. steering wheels are moving left to right left to right at 50-70mph.
please see attached and let me know if there is something wrong.

Looks like you have two different types of tires from your other thread. Also you may have run flats mixed with non run flats. This can be a bad combo.
It also little bit tilted to right side when i leave my hands from steering wheel
i dont have any run flat tires but i have 2 front continental tires that has some thread left and 2 new rear bridgestone tires that was installed today. they are only non run flats

if the front end shakes at highway speeds have them balance the tires and check the front end for any worn/broken parts. If all else is good I'd say you have a bad tire. The alignment specs seem good. If the car pulls to the right, most likely a bad tire. If the steering wheel is crooked, most likely it was a little off center when they did the alignment
As I said in the other thread, BUY A SET of tires. You have 2 tires from one manufacturer, and 2 from another. I told you htey may not get alone with each other.
A long time ago, I put 2 snow tires on the back of my RX7 and 2 reg tires in from. I thought I was going to die in the first 30 seconds. I learned my lesson.
DON'T MIX tire manufacturers or really even different models form the same manufacturer.

Number one. New tires have all sorts of finshing compounds that will make them feel greasy. You may be mistaking front end tracking for rear wheel sliding. Could take a month to scrub of the surface
i took my car to firestone again and they testdrove it and they noticed that something was wrong. After rotation, tire issue is cleared but not sure about alignment.
I agree with the posts that your alignment looks good, and that the front/rear tire mix is probably the main suspect. That plus the somewhat slippery release agent on the new tires that takes 100 to 200 miles to fully wear off.
It doesn't take anywhere near 100 miles... Complete hogwash. Otherwise race cars, and auto cross cars would crash right away... And what fun would that be?...lol
Now that they rotated the tires and the feeling when away when driving straight, it will show up sometime later when you aren't going straight.
You have mismatched tires. At some point it's going to haunt you...

It is all good advice. You should move toward getting a set of matched
and in good condition tires. The cars have a short wheelbase and are not
that heavy. It's not like driving a Buick whatever with wrong tires.
It actually does matter.
I can tell on my CRX if a tire is off by 2 lbs of air because it pulls.
You should not scrimp on tires and brakes, the life you save could be mine (or yours!)!
