Firestone Sucks
Got new rear RE-11s and an alignment. Love fresh rubber.
Drove it away, back end felt weird. Couple days later I entered a high speed corner, heavy braking and the tail started wagging - disconcerting. Made my right hand turn in... and the back end stepped out by about 3 inches. Stayed in it so as not to have it snap back and run me off the road. Made it through the turn more than a little freaked out. Went home, cleaned the feces out of my pants and setup a string alignment. Left rear: NEGATIVE .15 toe. Other wheels were out too, 3 tires with negative toe. Took the car back and told them they screwed up the alignment. REDO IT! Picked it up. Same thing. Measure again. Now NEGATIVE .18 toe on left rear. Still 3 tires with negative toe. This time I set the toe myself and it drives great. Guess I'm just going to buy a camber gauge and do the whole alignment myself each time because... ...what good is a lifetime alignment from Firestone if I'm dead? |
