So how is it i can lift the car up, and the wheels move to where they're supposed to be, but when i drive it around, they shift? Something is wrong with something... im sooo tired of this car.

At the risk of telling you somthing that I think you already know, I am going to say it anyway! [8D]

You say when you lift the car up the wheels are where they are supposed to be, but when you drive the car they shift.

Ok, so you do know that the camber will change when the elevation of the wheel changes in relation to the car?

The camber is supposed to change when the car is jacked up.

I dont mean the car is jacked up, My friend and I grab the bumper and lift the car alittle, and let it down again. Then the wheels are sitting right. I know they change when the car is off the ground, give me alittle credit.

Sorry!

I had to clarify the situation for my sake not really yours.

I don't know then, there must be somthing loose somewhere, the only thing I can think of is what I already mentioned, take it to a collision center and have it put on a frame machine where the suspension can be "loaded" and "unloaded" while you observe the front end for looseness.

Or you could just drive it anyway, until the issue makes itself known, hopefully without really breaking.
