Full alignment needed?
 
Does anyone have a good recommendation for a car alignment place near stafford/fredericksburg?

I'm pretty sure my rear toe end is out of align. Inside wear bar is showing while the middle is only slightly worn and the outside is looks like new (slight exageration but the wear bar is showing/inside is smooth. ~15k miles. Is this the case or is this the expected wear pattern on the z? 12 nismo stock.

I havent seen a wear this bad on anything else I've been around unless something was off, so I figured I'd drop a message.

Thanks for the help.

Uneven wear from inside to outside is probably camber, not toe. Inside wear is more likely for the rears, so nothing *bad* there and 15k miles isn't unreasonable for stock tires.

Find anywhere that will give you a free alignment check/printout. Take the results and walk away, then post them here. We can probably suggest a more even alignment for whatever your driving style is.

Thanks. I can never remember which part does the leaning or turning with the suspension. I'm more of an engine guy.

I actually got it checked out the next day. Everything was out of whack. I'll try to post the alignment specs sheet before and after and I'll upload the pics of the tires. Also I was told my driver side rear camber bolt is "maxed."

Apparently it is to short, from what they said. One is being ordered, but I still find it slightly hard to believe that the bolt is too short.

Also I was surprised I got 15k out of the stock tires, so that was a plus.

Get yourself a set of SPC camber arms/bolts! (Or more expensive if you have more money)

They're fairly cheap.
