I get wheel alignments regularly on my Vitara and after the last one a couple of weeks ago the front end is now a lot higher.

I have the Calmini lift with arb bullbar and the front has dropped since it was installed.

After every wheel alignment you could see the front was lower then the back.

But now I think I have gained a inch or two.

Not sure what is going on there.

Maybe they left the wheel alignment machine under the car.

No I haven't been back, I thought of going back but they might think I am some sort of nut and bust out laughing.

I am going to replace the Heim Joint, and get a mechanic mate to do it will get him look over it.

It did have a bit of tow out on one wheel, but looks fine as it sits now, might have to get the tape measure out and check.

You should get a print-out of before and after measurements from where you get it alligned.
