Anyone have the complete and current alignment specs that Nissan is recommending? I'm having trouble searching the site or the web to find the specs. Does someone know? I need them so I can take the specs to the auto shop when I get new tires and I'm afraid they'll have old specs in their computer (and result in feathering again).

I am interested in the specs for an '03 Track model (if it varies with model).

Thanks!

JeffW-
Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but there are some specs in here around page 16 or so. Hope it helps-

Thank you for your reply. It sounds like the only change is that Nissan now recommends that front toe-in be set to the maximum of 2mm.

My guess is that the alignment specs otherwise remain the same as they appear in the service manual. I have the 2003 manual and have attached a screenshot of the alignment specs. I've also attached a pic of the alignment info from the service bulletin link that you provided.

Can anyone confirm that the alignment specs I've provided are considered the most up-to-date?

Thanks,
Jeff

 

I wish there would just be a "no kidding" fix. I had my car "supposedly" fixed late in 04 at Performance in Duarte, Ca. (car went in storage from 1/05 to 11/05 and wasn't even driven) Car was supposed to be re-aligned to the new specs to prevent the feathering, also got new front tires via the TSB. Guess what? Less than 5,000 miles later, here I am with the feathering and the loud growl on my fronts again! This really pisses me off, and I don't feel I should have to spend my own $$ to buy coilovers, new springs, etc to fix Nissan's problem. I too would like to find the exact specs so maybe I could get it re-aligned somewhere else. Anyway, I'm going to be paying closer attention to this thread and to the stickied thread at the top-

I was looking through some of the pages on the "tire feathering" sticky and ran across these specs from one of the members...found it kinda interesting and thought I'd pass along...at this point, I'm willing to try about anything!
Best of luck-
