Something is alittle askew, my suggestion, take it back to the place you got the tracking done. If there worth there salt, they won't have a problem doing it again and again till its right.

Thanks Bigbob3000
I take it the steering wheel should be the same as it was even after any tracking done??

So long as it's not been off and refitted wrong, yes.

Is it the original?

Straight before tracking

I would expect the car to be dead straight after the tracking, so after tracking it sould be perfect, no vearing or anything.
Bear in mind though, that suspention can cause misalignment. My 03 STI struts started knocking a few months ago, and now the rear NS has gone really bad. This is causing me a slight vearing.

It's been done wrong, very wrong.

Yes it is the original one . Never been touched.

Car seems to drive straight. Its me that wants to straighten up the wheel all the time .

Just seen on the invoice I only had the front alignment he said it was well out??

Did you SEE it done? Most places lock the wheel dead ahead when doing it. I reckon your place didn't.
Take it back, and get them to put it right.

They put on 205 55 r16...
And they don't do 4 wheel alignment.

55? So now you are on relatively high profile tyres and your speedo is inaccurate too.

Are you sure you should own a Subaru?

lol looks like they didnt lock the steering wheel straight before doing the alingment!!! i would have taken it back to them there and then!!!!

They still should have checked they were fitting the same size tyres as they were removing and querried it before going ahead.

PMSL.....
One of the best lines i've read on SN..lol..
Sorry nooswrx, thats just funny...

Back to serious now, take it back, shame you didn't realise they only do the front 2 traking. Would have walked right out of there, 4 point alingment normaly costs between 50-80, with the more expensive being the super-duper ones..lol..
