constant alighment problems

at first i had an auto 2.5i and from the day i got it to the day i sold it my steering wheel was never strait (even after alighment). now i have a manual 2.5i and it was strait wen i got it but now im having the same problem its strait wen i come out of the alighment shop but after i drive it a little and not hitting any pot holes or ne thing 2 that affect it got thrown off again. so i got white line's rear frame bolts witch are sapose 2 keep things in line and they did for a while but my steering wheel still isnt strait.

so my general question is dose ne one else have this problem (if so why?)

what can i do?

and ne alighment specs that i should use would help alot


Note : i have a 1.3" drop in the front and a 1.0" in the back with the frame bolts and type 1 cusco frame brace

When the shop checks your alignment after the steering wheel goes off-center, has it changed from the previous settings? Did you buy your car new, or was it by chance a former salvage title with accident history?

Make sure its tight where the collum enters the stearing rack. They slip easy if not tight. That would explain why you keep taking to the shop and it keeps ****ing up.
