Another alignment or sign of something else?

Question:
My front tires were wearing unevenly about a year ago, got an alignment & 2 new tires (back were already new). So here we are a year later, and front tires are wearing unevenly again, car pulls to the right & when looking from the ground it looks like the wheels are bowing out. like the tops of the wheels are further apart than the bottoms, like on an angle. is this a sign of something more serious than an alignment?

vehicle front ends have what is called caster and camber.the camber is what sets the pitch of your tires.the camber adjustment being wrong is what your seeing,the cause could be this,if your vehicle was involved in a front-end accident,by you or previous owner the damage sustained to the front end is still going to haunt you.if it was severe enough a frame shop was involved and even though they got the front end straight, the damaged structure will still be weakened slightly.enough to cause you alignment issues.a good alignment shop can tell you this ,a good tech will ask you this if he See's this problem.walmart and pep-boys techs don't look for this.

Get it aligned properly this time.

About 3 weeks ago I had my front brakes done at NBT. 2 weeks ago back brakes done at Midas. Now they squeak?

Your caster and camber is out of wack depending on what car you have and whether or not if it is rear wheel drive or front wheel drive will determine whether or not it will need a four wheel alignment. Front end alignments don't usually go out in just a year and specially when it is doing the same thing as before, so I would go back to the place where you got it done and ask them how this is happening the same way as before. They may even do it again if it hasn't been to long since its been done.

Whereas I agree the alignments won't change entirely too much within a year without unusual wear on parts, there is nothing to insure that the alignment was done properly the last time.
