they keep sending me the fuel line above my gas tank recall, and i refuse to go. .if or when i smell gas then i may consider it. .otherwise i'll BUY the part myself and do it myself. .im not letting them remove my borla, and stillen sway kit/gtspec bars to drop my gas tank. .F that ****. .other then axle click/window smear/tire issue. .my Z's running and now working beautifully. .
when you say "TIRE FEATHERING" that means it is not properly alligned? do you know if the 2005 Z are on recall for this? man, I swear I hate DEALERSHIP *****

im not too sure on an 05 if that was an issue. .but it was on the 03's. . ..truthfully i never looked into it if they fixed this issue. .but so far on my alignments that i do the computer still tells me that there is no front camber/caster adjustment on the Z. . .unless they make a kit in which i think they do.

I just took my 05 ZR in to the dealership (DD auto group) for a roaring noise on RF side. Ended up replacing both front tires + alignment due to inside wear and "cupping" . I researched the issue and couldn't find any thing about a recall on 05's, just 03s and 04s.. Trust me, I'd love to have the $550 back. It kind of cheesed me off becaused I had not abused this car but ended up replacing tires that had plenty of miles left on them due to a problem that did not manifest its self until it was too late.

I hope this is not a recurring problem. I purchased the car used("certified" by the dealership). I can't justify that kind of money to the "boss" every 9 months.

some z's after i do them do not require a camber/caster adjustment. BUT even if they did stock does not allow you to adjust them. Just Toe. . .i suggest after doing the tire replacement or even b4 you take it for an alignment other then the dealer. .and see if your car requires a camber/caster adjustment. .then if they make a front kit buy it so as not to ruin tires every5-10 k/ /.
