Are these settings ok? I took my car to firestone to do this and they don't know their *** from a hole in the ground.

Front Left:
Camber -0.2
Caster 3.5
Toe .04 was -0.29
SAI 13.2

Front Right:
Camber -0.8
Caster 3.4
Toe -0.01 Was .35
SAI 14.2

Rear Left:
Camber -1.0
Toe .10

Rear Right:
Camber -1.1
Toe 0.9

My second alignment the damn car still pulls right....

 

1) Are you sure the Front L. camber number is correct? not a typo
2) What is the Thrust angle? If its a hunter alingment machine it is on the bottom of the printout under the rear alignment settings.
3)Did you ever try rotating your tires? Swap the front tires right to left and see what happens to the pull. Yes they will be rotating against the arrows, but this is just to see if you have a radial pull.

 

Front Left Camber is -0.2 Thrust Angle is 0.01... Also these are brand new tires and the stock tires pulled in the same direction...

If you think my left front camber was a typo I am guessing there is something very wrong?!?!?!?!?

 

1) Does the alignment machine look like an old piece of crap? Alignment machines have to be calabrated once in a while. Maybe the machine is off. Does the rest of the shop equipment look trashed or does it look well maintained?

2)Adjust the camber. It can be done. Some grinding on the adjustment bolt may be needed.

3)Check your tire pressure.

post a link to the thread where we were discussing this before. I cant find it.

 

Well this is Firestone..... They are kinda a large company you would think they would have semi good equipment.

 

I used to work for firestone tire and service centers. The equipment mataintce is entirely up to the individual store manager. A large part of the managers income is based on the profit of the store. You do the math.

 

I have to take the car back there for the 3rd time. So they can set the front for -1 camber..... Because they are to incompitent to do it the first 2 times they had the damn thing there.

 

Car still pulls right? Mine does too with a proper alignment...

Check your driver side sway bar end link... is it in the middle, while the passanger one is pulled right? Mine is like that, I don't know why... I'm guessing this might be why my car pulls right, but I haven't fixed it yet.

 

I just had my snow tires put on and had a wheel alinement too.

Mine was Left front Camber -.98,,, caster 3.65,,,toe .04

right front Camber -.29,,,,caster3.8,,toe .02

Front cross camber -.69,,,cross caster-.15,,,,,total toe .05


Left rear Camber -.71,,,,,,,Toe .11
right Rear Camber -1.11,,,,,Toe .14


total toe .24
thurst angle -.01

Now this when Im on the highway it seems like the front left tire makes alot of thump thump noise ,, and it has never done this before.....How do my numbers look.,,,,what can cause this?


Thanks
