take it to a shop...did you talk to the alignment guy and tell him the situation?

the alignment isn't the best but it's not terrible...certainly isn't explaining the wheel issue

I guess when I get paid I'll take it to another shop and see if they can see what's happening. this is really frustrating, wish i knew what the problem was. could it be the body that's slightly crooked our something of that sort.

Dude your wheel is barely different...I wouldn't even worry about it...Looking at your alignment sheet though, it needs some work but that all depends what you do with the car. Front camber -1.5* to -2.0* and 0* toe...Rear camber -1* to -1.5* and close to 0* toe or a little bit negative...

thanks to all who responded, 'preciate it. I'm not gonna worry about it anymore as it's probably nothing. I'm gonna start savin' up for a new suspension setup anyways, might go with bilstein hd and gtworx springs.

Ya, because the car will squat down a bit more giving the tire greater negative camber. That might also explain why you hear compression noises in your rear struts. They could be blown.... BUT... Any alingment shop worth its weight will do a underbody/suspension/tire inspection before performing an alignment. You cant properly align a vehicle that has bad bushings or blown struts.


I recommend getting a jack, jack stands and a flashlight and getting under your vehicle and see if anything looks wrong under there.
