Yeah so after my dads mechanics and I installed the steering rack after I bent the tie rod I put off getting an alignment for 2 weeks.

Last night I happen to look at my front tires (3 month old azenis) and they are almost totally bald. :frown

The moral of this story, a proper alignment is not only good for performance but saves your tires. As for my azenis, I took those enkie's off and put on my stock wheels with some shitty tires. I'll only be running the azenis only for auto cross for a couple of months. O well. You live and you learn.

did it to my dd had to buy new tires

[aero]

Yup... toe will kill yo shit!

On one of my trecks from FL to MI, I hit a piece of sod on the highway. About an hour later, my car was feeling weird, to I pulled into a rest stop. My tires that were brand new a week before my trip were almost showing wires across the whole tread... had to wait at the rest stop over night so I could go to a tire place in the morning. Everything was fine but the toe was jacked the hell up.

I got an alignment today! After driving around for a week on my new tires, I can feel the difference. Here are my current settings. They are a bit aggressive, but I like it.

Front left
-1.2 Camber from -1
2.0 Caster From 2
-.01 Toe From .20

Front Right
-1.5 Camber from -1.9
1.6 Caster from 1.7
-.01 Toe From .24

Total toe -.03

Rear left
-.7 Camber from -.5
.13 toe from -.07(this made it rub)

Rear right
-.7 Camber from -1
.08 Toe from .08

Total toe .21

What do you guys think? Ok? I know how to adjust Toe on ATV's, but don't understand the angles of degree. Most 2wd ATV's are towed in 5mm, and most 4wd ATV's are toed out 5mm.

The main thing that I'm happy about is that my rear tires don't rub anymore when I hit bumps.

I wouldn't really call that too aggressive.

[OkiNutsEP3]

Ok, that's cool. I don't want my new tires to wear too fast.

[pjnightss]

does the shop work on any cars or just the ones on the lot?

[kirradude1025]

Ya, I got new Eagle F1 GS-D3 on Friday in the rear and I told them to align the front.
He came back and told me that my total toe was .41...

damn dude, I don't put tires on my car or anything to do with the front end without an alignment. I did something similar back in the day to one of my first cars though. but I'd buy the 10 dollar used tires till I got the cash for the front end to be fixed.

[ViciousLord]

i'm currently at

- 2.0 camber up front

- 1.5 camber rear

and 0 toe all around.... car is real nimble.
