What causes often alignment problem?

I have a 97 gmc sierra. I got new tires and rims two months ago and have had to get it aligned twice. This will be the third time. I have new control arm bushings, inner tie rods and Pittman arm. About a month after getting it aligned it pulls to the right again. What can cause this?

    Maybe the technicians who worked on your truck aren't tightening something up, which causes rapid misalignment.

    Also, you have to consider that the road will also affect how the vehicle travels. Most roads are convex shaped to allow for water runoff to storm drains on the sides of the roads. When you are on one side or the other of the road, this will cause the vehicle to pull off to that side due to gravity and velocity.

    Alignment problems are most often caused by running into things like curbs, trees, other cars, etc.

    If you've been running into things, that is the cause of your alignment problems.

    If you have not been running into things, find another shop to perform the alignment for you.

    Make certain the rear axle remains to be founded on the axle perches. If it is had a elevate package installed, oftentimes that'll happen. Force down the avenue and have any one comply with you.
