Today has been incredibly frustrating. This morning, I got my car back, and the dealer suggested a front end alignment. Since I have a policy with Tires Plus, I told them I'd take it there to have it taken care of. I took it to Tires Plus, and after three attempts, the car still pulls to the right harder than Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson combined. The technician asked if I knew what torque steer was, which I replied yes, and no, that is not it. If it was torque steer, the car would pull straight while in neutral which it isn't. They then said there are no adjustments to be made on my car and that for $70, they can move my subframe for me. They claim the car is in perfect alignment despite the strong pull.
I'm frustrated to no end. Though, I am very happy to have my Contour back, it was awkward to reach for a shifter and clutch that weren't present on the Taurus Type R.
