whats up guys, problem is my allignment is off again, i have an 08 5at full warranty blah blah blah.. well a few weeks ago i hydro planed turning left going into the highway (about 17-20 mph) almost hit a light post, thank god i didnt... but then my whole passenger side was burried in the dirt.. talk about a grown man cry on the side of the road
anyways, brought it straight to nissan to get it fixed(drove) they said allignment was off.. so yeah the fixed it but now 3 weeks later my allignment is off again. reason why im trippin is because i have a feeling that they'll tell me otherwise when i bring it back tomorrow.. im just hoping if anyone could help me on how to approach nissan service
i know its pathetic but i just need some advice.. so yeah.. im ready for who ever is going to rip my head off from lectures.. any advice will surely help.. thanks

Nissan loves to sell alignments. Get an alignment. Take it back the following week and they will sell you another alignment.
"Alignment is off" means what? Do you have some numbers?

Haha I actually hyrdoplaned as well but I wasn't as lucky as you were and actually hit a curb just a month ago and am having the same problem.
My reason is also unknown for why the alignment keeps going bad but what we found out was apparently I have bent control arms. I got one of them changed out today but the caster is still to low on them still.
Do you drive over train tracks or just rough roads? That causes the alignment to mess up alot as well.
What I would personally do bro (I dunno how many people will agree or disagree with me) but if you have a Firestone Tire Center, they sell lifetime alignments which are great because you pay for it once and can take it back whenever you are not satisfied. Also they due to a pretty good job and tell you what exactly is causing your car to do that and with the lifetime it's transferable and you can keep doing it as long as you own the car.
If you go with the Nissan dealership which IMO is a huge rip off for a poor college student like me lol, you'll most likely get ran around and told all sorts of different stuff like I did
Best of luck hope I helped
