why is my car no longer able to be aligned on one side?

Asked by Guru94ZCH5 Sep 07, 2020 at 12:08 AM about the 2013 Kia Sorento EX V6 AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2013 Kia Sorento and was told that it is no longer able to be aligned
on the front passenger side because there is no more room to do it. They
replaced the casters, but they said it is the camber causing the problem. My
car pulls to the left, but I was told by the mechanic that it is just going to do
that and it is not a safety concern and will not wear my tires, but I feel like
there should be a solution to this. Has anyone experienced this? Should the
camber just be replaced?

The body may be bent from an accident. Camber is an adjustment, not something you can replace.

To my knowledge it was not in an accident and there was no mention of it being bent. They said it was just something that happens, but I hadn't heard of it before. I will ask next time I go in for them to double check to see if it is bent. I don't like not being able to do anything about it. Its such a pain to drive with it pulling and I wonder if it is going to eventually end up being a problem for my tires etc. Sounds like I am stuck with it! Aaaahhh. Thank you!
