Wheel alignment after Oil Pan Leak fix
So my 2016 X3 was diagnosed with an oil pan leak, was quoted a fortune for the fix but whatever, I just had it done.
In order to fix this, they had to remove the whole front of the car, steering rack, front suspension, front dif, everything. Problem is that after the repair, the car pulls slightly to the right, or the steering wheel is not perfectly centered, I don't know how to explain. Do I need to go and have the wheel alignment done since they removed the whole front of the car or did they mess things up? They already closed and I can't call until next week. |

They will need to align the car after dropping the subframe. They should do it no charge.

this is correct, this was a requirement after this work was done. You're alignment is fucked now. they would have known this as well.

the funny thing is.. test drive or not.. even if the car didn't pull the alignment was still off. impossible for it not to be.
