Wheel alignment
 
1 Attachment(s)
Just had my wheel alignment done and one the techs told me that my stock suspension is fully adjustable to what degree i dont know. Dont know how much i buy into it.

I have no idea how to read these numbers. So i don't know if my alignment was off to begin with.

Here's the numbers I got from looking at your sheet. Some of it is hard to read.

Front
Left Right
Camber
-.97 -.69
Caster
+4.67 +4.63
Toe
.06 .09

Rear
Camber
-1.67 -1.68
Toe
-.04 -.02


Your rear toe is pointing out. It should be pointing in.

rear 1.57 (camber) 1.60
-0.04 (toe) -0.02

Elmo370z 03-31-2016 11:06 PM

So i called the shop today and they told me the toe they had pointing out is for best tire wear, i guess time will only tell.

These rears had almost 20,000 miles on them. They don't look that bad after that many miles

Go to a different shop. That's BS. Toe out will give you snap over steer.

op- datz a pretty shitty alignment if ud asked me unless your car was in an accident or something. ur thrust angle is pretty decent. i would have it redone.

That's a second on the rear toe! Negative toe (-) will make your Z feel loose under hard acceleration & higher speeds.
And if suspension is stock; front toe & rear camber & toe is all that is adjustable...rear camber will peak at where yours is now (around -1.7ish)
