Alignment issues
I only have 9300 miles on the car and already need a third alignment. Is this a common issue for the Z? Front and rear keep going out mainly the rear toe. Has anyone else had this type of problem?
Car has all stock suspension and wheel set up. |

Everything was all in check. One used a rack and dealer checked with the ones that hook on the wheels ( don't know what they are called). Do a lot a city driving but I still think every 3000 miles is ridiculous for an alignment

Find a local shop that will do a lifetime alignment (or 3 or 5 years or so). I paid the cost of a little more than 2 alignments for 5 years unlimited at NTB. I get one done about every 3-6 months. It's rare that anything other than the front toe is out, and even then it is barely outside the normal tolerance.

Firestone does a life time too. I did that on my last car since i autoxed alot. But now i love somewhere else where there is no firestone around.

Swap your front tires around. Put the left on the right, and the right on the left. Sounds like you might have a radial tire pull.
