it can man, espicially if its out by alot. I know it can make it pull cause before my car pulled really bad, then I aligned it, and it pretty much went completely straight after that. :P

I might agree that it will drive funny but it cant make a pull because if you toe is out buy say an inch, when you are going strait both side will be out 1/2 inch, equal #'s =no pull. You would need the toe to be different from side to side to pull which is imposable or you wouldn't be going strait. aLIGHTNMENTS ARE PART OFF WHAT i DO FOR A LIVING

Re:if you hit a curb does your alignment go off?
if you have two tires, and they are out of alignment(toe) and one hits gravel, or the solide yellow line, or water is is slightly balled or has bad caster or camber compared to the other one, it will pull. the two tires want to go straight, so as soon as one tire has less traction then the other, the other tire will go straight, pulling the car to one side. its really fucked up but probly the reason why you do alignements for a living is cause you are ------- RETARDED. hmmm, i love caps too.

The alignment on my truck is perfect and the tires wear perfect, but it pulls to the right. The passenger side tire is 1/4" further back then the driver side tire.

How would you do an alignment in your garage? And to simply answer your question Scottsi. You could definitely have knocked your car out of alignment. Hell, my sister bent her subframe from hitting a curb going like 10 mph.
