Alignment off after trip to the Dragstrip
Well it was my first trip to the Drag strip on a test n tune day. I had a lot of fun, but after my 7th run I noticed my alignment was off. The steering wheel was off center and car pulled left. The rear end did kick out a bit more then usual on that run. A little too much gas in first gear. Anyone else experience this? I wouldn't think I did anything to bad to damage anything. My car gets far more abuse on autocross and track days. Hoping maybe my alignment just got thrown off. I talked to one of the serious drag guys, he said that if I hopped too bad pressure comes off of the suspension and when you come back down it could mess up the alignment.

Yeah, the only thing I can think of would be excessive wheel hop knocking something around. If you get 'hop, abort the run immediately, it's not worth it.

It was the passenger rear toe arm. The concentric bolt worked it's way loose. My toe was way off. Only had to realign the one arm and the rest of the alignment fell back into place.
