Wheel alignment
 

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.

http://OE Align Stats
Her are the OE alignment stats. If the pic worked?

No it didnt work

does dat show minus toe on the rear? (toe out)

kinda tuff looking at it sideways. lol

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

damnit so now i have to go back

Im looking at the FSM and nothing is adding up, guess ill have to call back tomorrow.

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.

got damn1t

thanks yah, i thought i read toe out. lol

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.

I got re scheduled. I printed off oem specs from my fsm

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)

Forget about tire wear; negative toe in the back will cause the azz end to dance around at higher speeds/ very unsafe.

Look at your spec sheet he gave you/ it's for a 350z,,, numbers are different spec on certain items.

Lol, since it's green it must be perfect! :D

Firestone does this too. Looks just like this printout. And after two paid alignments, the rest are free for life / the rest of your ownership of the vehicle.

Hard to beat that! :driving:

That alignment service is also free (maybe basically included in the price) when I buy tires from the dealership.

Free ain't free if you have to spend $1k to get it! lol. Point understood, though.

I have an appointment this friday to get it fixed

So looks like everything is back in line. The first shop had no idea what they were doing.
