Default Tire Feathering

Having tire feathering problem with my '07 Z....dealer has checked alignment and said it was within specs...even though print out shows one rear tire is way out of spec. We were told Nissan has a "firm" stand of no new tires for 350 Z's. But yet I see where other people are successful in having dealerships change the tires under the waranty....thought it might just be my dealership...so...I contacted another dealership in an adjoining state (same Nissan rep) and was told the same thing...Looking for feedback on a list of dealerships that are honoring warranty.

Any info on the dealerships i.e. name/phone number/location would be appreciated!

You won't get a lot of help in the fact that you posted this in the wrong place, and this place gets like no views anyway.

I've read you should "exaggerate" the camber thing a little, to make any dif-
ference. Me? I'm blessed: '04 Tour' Coupe, no feathering. Just the "3 nuisan-
ces": driver's side power w. glitch, faulty hatch door struts, & the gas latch
release mini-problem (have to depress the button 4-5 times for the thing to
open). Don't care, I'm STILL in love with the Zed! Just rotated front tires, 14k on it, and going strong.

The list can go on and on, but no one really knows?

That threads needs to be pruned and the usable information put in on how to fix the problem. Or delay it, or somthing.

Iv been reading that thread and others for oh an hour to two now and i still have no idea where to start with my problem. Put new tires on and took a road trip, now after 3000miles roar is there badly. But is it alignment? Is it the lower control arms, do the evo control arms fix it? Or how about lowering the car? Or the nismo suspention? Or maybe get the alignment done ever 4months since its so sensitive and pulling it on and off the rack can change the toe? I have no clue, and im not about to spend money on somthing that "may" fix it, or "may" not.
