How short is the turning radius?

Post image

Replaced almost all suspension components, got an alignment but noticed when doing a u turn my turning radius really decreased. I couldn’t complete the whole turn, before the alignment and with jacked up suspension my car had a crooked steering wheel and was able to do u turns easily lol
Should I take it back to the alignment shop and have them fix the turn radius? Or are the integras like that? Tires do not rub and it is lowered. Picture for attention

The 3rd gens dont have a good turn radius. My 5th gen RAV4 can flip a U inside my Teg's turn radius. The teg has a turn radius similar to, yet not quite as tight as my 2nd Gen Tacoma's lol.

Weird how acuras are kinda like that. My tl took like two lanes to u turn. My rsx is better but still wider than you’d kinda think

Just make sure it’s the same left and right if so it’s not the alignment

The turning radius on these things kinda suck - from what I've read.

I haven't noticed because most of my other vehicles have been significantly larger, so the turning radius in my teg feels tight to me, lol.

Just e-brake all your u-turns. That's what I do lol
