Default Alignment

I have had to get my alignment done twice since I first got my car almost a year ago, I don't mind that much since I bought a waranty on my alignment from NTB, but is there a way to permanently fix the problem or should I just put up with it. I just recently put on Nitto Neogen tires and are very satasfied with them for tire noise and grip. Thanks for your help!

no way to keep a car in your perfect alignment. If you hit a big bump, your alignment just changed. getting them is a fact of life.

Then I guess it would be a good idea to get the 3 year warenty on the alignment. Thanks guys for the help.

As the rubber isolators [ozone] in suspension arms and ride height changes you must constantly compensate.

A pothole is enough to throw an alignement off.

It's good practice to check/redo it every 6 months.
