Toe Or Camber?

[imported_SkorchedZero]

In a previous post some people told me that my 1.25 - 1.5" drop camber wear was because of the toe being out of line. I got my 1996 civic's toe adjusted before. The shop told me that they could not adjust it to perfect but they did the best they could. Should they be able to completely fix the toe being out of line? Should I get it re-adjusted at another shop?

thats a load of crap. There is a spec where the toe should be in place, cause i had about 2 degrees of camber on my car and i adjusted my toe to within factory specs. Tell them you want a print out reading of the alignment, if its not within spec, tell them you want your money back or have them pay someone else to get the job done right.

They did give me a print out and everything (dont have it with me). I am pretty sure he told me that it was the best they could do and I think it was the rear that was not in factory spec, but just slightly off. Anyway that shop sucks and we stopped going there. I'll get it done at a good shop.

Check your print out. It should show what the toe and camber numbers are. If the toe is within spec, or very close, it shouldn't cause tire wear. With a 1.25-1.5" drop, you shouldn't have much wear from camber though.

yeah i got mine on the money. 0.00 degrees of toe on each side

I know I wasn't close to 0.00 degrees. Maybe 1.2 or 1.3 degrees in the back(?)

How does a $65 four wheel alignment at Tire Kingdom sound?

pretty damn good, i use to know a place that charged 45 dollars for a front end alignment and it wasnt even a laser alignment, it was all done the old school way.
