STR Alignment Specs
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I have had this STR aligned twice only to discover it wasn't done to current specs. I now have to replace a set of tires which are scrubbed on the inside front and rear.
It would appear that Brutal has suggested that total front toe-in should be +.26 but it is not clear what the rear should be.
Reading the alignment values from the two previous alignments reads total toe front 0.00 and rear 0.10. Given this STR has been lowered with H&R springs the camber is currently front right -1 3/16 and left -13/16 and rear right -1 1/2 and left -1 13/32.
I would sure like to get this right the third time with a new set of skins in the next couple of days.
Appreciate any input...

The rear is correct, that doesnt meen they aligned the rear correctly or at all.
And even setting everything in the green and to the correct "range" ( i use that term loosly) doesnt meen you wont have tire wear issues. Ive seen many tires worn unevenly and in the green for alignment settings. As ive said many a times look at the tire wear, and the before alignment settings and adjust accordingly. If your rears are wearing on the inside that tells me they want more toe in than where theyre at right now. And i useally set up all toe settings to the inner most "toed in" spec

That is what I went by when I had my 2004 STR which has been H&R lowered, aligned to as best that they could and I have not had any problems. Taking out the 1985 BMW turbo M6. The Syracuse nationals are in town for the weekend they are expecting 7,000 hot rods and muscle cars, Should be lots of fun.
