Just got car realigned finally after Hotchkis install and new wheels and tires. Took it to the local dealership that sponsors the Z club, since they have new Hunter equipment and offer a discount to club members.

I went over and spent a few minutes talking to the tech while he was working on my car to size him up and he seemed very competent. Took the car off the rack to double check the steering wheel was straight and put it back on to make some more adjustments when he wasn't satisfied.

My service advisor didn't explain anything about the service and just showed me where to pay after handing me the keys and paperwork. I questioned the individual numbers being off and he said the only ones that matter are the total toe and steer ahead. He also mumbled something about the tech telling him the shop fan messed with the readings during the printout which just really pissed me off since that tells me I can't trust the printout at all now.

It turns well and tracks straight but I'm also concerned about uneven tire wear, b/c we know the Z is sensitive to alignment and these Michelin PS2s aren't cheap! Should I take it back to get the right rear toe in spec? Also, I know the front is toe only, but can you adjust camber in the rear or will camber come into spec if they fix the toe?

FWIW, before and after alignment figures:

 

Thrust angle should always be 0.000000000000000000

Camber should be less than 0.5 degrees side to side.......... 0.2 is better.

Was your weight sitting in drivers seat necessary for accurate results!

 

I'm thinking if they get the toe correct, the thrust angle should fall into place.

That's not much camber for a sports car is it? Anyways, I have stock control arms so no way to adjust.

No...not sure if they'd let me, but I'll try next time.

 

Wat da..did my posts get deleted or is this a new thread?

 

Nah...I wasn't getting any attention here, so I created a link to this thread in the autocross/road section.

Mods, please merge. thx.
