Alignment Adjustments

[Big Wang Bandit]

Goes in for alignment tomorrow.

Wheels and tire sizes are as follows.

Front
17x8
225/45/17

Rear
17x9
255/40/17

A mild aggressive alignment would be preferred. I herd that I should rid of toe to keep tire wear down.

Is anyone familliar with anything goodish?

Thanks

your car is on stuck suspension correct?

have them bring up stock specs (they will do it anyways) and match it to them... dont bother adjusting toe to anything other than stock because our cars dont have natural tire wear problems in the first place.

Aie, its lowered, on TTR stuffs, That is kinda important so I shall update my first post.


Just have them go as close to stock as possible?

yeah stock spec. Sears got mine in stock range. and your car isn't much lower so i am sure anyplace can do it.

 

[mattjk]

yes, stock, although a little extra toe-in in the back is always good, unless you are a m4d tyte dorito.

make sure the people are good, find out how much your car is lowered front/rear, tell them that.

They should be able to adjust it accordingly.

Go spray all your cam bolts, tie rod sleeves, etc. tonight with some rust penetrant. 7 outta ten will be a PITA to adjust, and you'll be getting told they cant adjust w/o new parts. The torch is your friend on the alignment rack!

I checked em which the wheels were being mounted. They looked okay

On second thought, Im not going to go to my appointment tomrrow. Im gonna search around, get quotes, and ask if they have done lowered cars before.

 

[BorHor]

I dont think it really matters if they have ever dealed with a lower car before. The main problem is if the bolts can adjust anymore.

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Thats it, but I just wanna make sure. One place today I went to said they wouldn't do it because it was lowered =/
