Default Warranty woes - Do I need an alignment?

Hi guys,

Issues on the Kia pulling to the left. Kia has released a bullitin on the prob, so I booked it in to get fixed (warrenty). The guy (at the end of the job) told me he had to pull out the whole front left suspension and do some adjustments, and that now, I will have to take it to get a wheel alignment.

I have had 3 wheel alignments in the past 6 months to sort this problem out (1 of which, they crashed my car) and a set of 4 new tyres.

Should I really have to pay out for a wheel alignment? If he "really" recommends I get one since this work was done, should they be doing it?


On another note, I also had some brake shudder at high speeds. I was gonna get the discs machined, but the guys said there was a bullitin issued by Kia about customers complaining about brake shudder, and they will book it in (warranty work) to get 4 new pads, and two new front discs (currently done 45,000 k's). This concerns me that there may be a more serious issue here? Am I right, as I'm still driving the car for a while till the work will be done.
