Actually, when I saw those values, especially side-to-side with the other values, I assumed that the tech had a very large friend sitting in the passenger seat while he did the alignment. Large passengers are a great way to move negative camber from the right to the left. My DSM could do a tenth of a g better on a clockwise skidpad with Sam Strano in the passenger seat.

 

Those alignment readings are way off. Basically the entire left side is trying to push the car to the right.

You should be able to look along the side of the car on level ground and clearly see the left rear tire has huge negative camber ( tucked in at the top of the tire into the wheel well ) And you should see a large difference in the right side front to the left side front. The right side will be straight up and down and the left will be tucked in slightly to the fender.

You can demonstrate the difference in toe very easily by stretching string across the wheel center line from front right to front back.

The alignment shop that did the last work dicked it up horribly. They have the camber bolts set incorrectly on the front as well.

The rear is so far out as to be unbelievable. You have 1/4 inch of toe-in on one tire alone. -3 camber on one side on basically none on the other side ??????


You seriously need to find even a decent alignment shop. But you need to first get your money back from Rick Case Honda. Get loud with the manager show him the car..it will be obvious how far off it is. Insist on getting your money back. If they want to try to fix the alignment MAKE sure they calibrate the alignment rack first. I would bet it was way off or the tech was totally incompetent.

 

looks to me like the alignment tech that did your car, doesnt know what hes doing, because a) hes a lot porter tryin to prove he can align cars, b) is a tech that smokes crack or c)just doesnt know what the hell hes doin, either way id go back find the service manager, be professional and dont raise a scene, at least until they start givin u the run around. Tell them next time you wanna wait in the bay area where the alignment rack is, you want there Master Tech realigning it, since the first time was screwed up soo bad, its almost like he aligned it on a hill haha

 

First of all, Thank you to everyone that has posted, lots of great suggestions in here. @ Iowa I pay absolutely ZERO attention to " post count". There is clearly a wheel/tire problem. State Farm wants me to take it to a tire shop to tell them for sure. My biggest problem has been trying to find a competent shop to do a quality alignment as you see I have failed miserably so far lol. I did some research and it looks like the next place I will be taking the car is called " The Alignment factory." I've read some really good reviews on a few forums, people say the main guy ken has been doing this for ever and is really good and emphasizes that " being in the green isn't enough".http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-c...i-florida.html

 

Also People said that the above shop does a lot of autox setups. When I told the tech at honda that I wanted -2* in the front he told me that I was gonna have excessive tire ware

 

-2 degrees in the front is a lot of camber, if you have them set it between -1.3-1.8 in the front youll get better tire life, without sacrificing handling in the turns.

 

I'm glad that post-count doesn't matter much to you, but I'm worried that you're going to take the car for another alignment before dealing with the wheel. If the wheel is bent, for example, then the alignment is going to be almost random, as it will depend on where that wheel ends up when they park it on the rack. Put another way: if you do end up having a bent wheel, you're going to have to get another alignment after the wheel is replaced, so why bother?

 

^ No you are absolutely correct the wheel/tire must and WILL be dealt with prior to my next and better be my FINAL alignment. I would like for insurance to replace both my wheel and my tire but I think I'm gonna have to start with the tire first.

 

Exactly. Its only good enough if your flat rate and your trying to make your hours. If your the owner of that vehicle its definately not good enough. One of two things, a very incompetent tech did the alignment, or the machine is seriously out of calibration.
