What is the factory specs for toe and camber in front? And would it hurt to zero out the toe?

I'm looking at getting the SPL upper arms for the front and the rear camber arms w/ toe bolts. Hopefuly that will solve any other tire wear problems that may come up.

Toe is out. I have to get aligned every 6000 miles because of this problem. Like you said, the car does'nt pull left or right, but you will probably notice a twitchness in the handling. I'm always so happy again after an alignment, it feels solid again. get it checked out.

redmike_02 - Nissan actually suggests 0 toe in the service bulletin.

This is the exact same problem I was having. Went for a alignment and toe was out at .32 on bith sides. It was off the charts. Car didn't pull at all. All set now. Only thing is I'm now paranoid as hell and check my tires every few days.

I hope I don't have to do it that often. I have 49k on it and this is the first time I have had any problems with strange tire wear. I'll just get adjustable stuff and get it aligned again.

Hey Mike, small world..... Did you ever figure out what fixed it? My 05 Track has the exact same problem with the tires that are on there now. I just ordered up a new set of tires, but I need to get the root cause addressed before my new ones do the same thing.

Alignment since you didn't seem to read that part

Actually, Mike never reported back if an alignment helped his problem. Figured I'd ask since its been several years and he may have some new thoughts about the matter. Yes, some people said alignment fixes the problem, but you know how internet banter goes... (repeat whatever you hear). I was wanting to hear from someone that I actually know.

I also never really read (not that I spent that much time reading) what the root cause is. Is the scrub radius completely screwed up on these cars or what? I have a 93 RX-7 that I run -2.75 deg of camber, 6 degrees of caster, and 0 toe on, that doesn't have any odd wear issues. I hear from a local alignment pro that even with good alignments the 350s still have odd wear issues.
