I just got my 2019 Honda Insight Touring Aligned. I needed an alignment after hitting an unfinished sidewalk making a tight right turn, and causing some damage to my front passenger tire.

I’ve already ordered a replacement tire for the damaged tire, which should be here within the week or so.

After hitting the curb I noticed I had to hold steering wheel more to the right and it was off center. If I held it center, the car would drift to the left over time.

After the alignment was done, I was surprised that the front didn’t seem to be out of alignment really. I was definitely surprised to see that the rear was out of alignment.

I’m just trying to confirm if the car needs to be brought back to have it put closer to spec, or if this is okay? The car appears to drive straight with a centered steering wheel, but I haven’t driven on the highway yet.

I know I’ve heard of some shops just getting the car to the green, and then saying it’s good.

But, I know others try to get everything that’s adjustable as centered as possible.

Thanks for the help. :)

    Alignment seems good. The Most important for tire wear is the “toe” and they seem even. Car might have a minor drift to the left with the front right camber more inwards than the left. Outside of that it should sit pretty evenly and be steady. Also depending on the thread difference between the old tire and new one, after installing the new tire steering might pull a bit.
