alignment issue
#21
Hey Brutal have spoken to you in the past and would like to thank you for all your straight up help.
My issue now is excessive inside tire wear on the 2 front tires.
Car info = 04 jag xtype 2.5 90k mi //
tires = 225/30zr/20 20" wheels.
Alignment issue?
Negative camber?
Toe in/out?
Worn control arm bushings?
Is the dealer the only option for the alignment?
What is the approx. cost of just the alignment?
Thanks in advance...David

See my above post. Rear alignment affects the front as well. Like I said, it wore the inside of my right front down to the cords to the point it was leaking.

well personally, i would increase toe in and check deflection while on the alignment rack to see how much the suspension moves (toes out). too many tech would never think about deviating from factory specs. They expect the machine to be the end all. To me the tires are the end all. Theyre telling the story and you have to use experiance and the before alignment settings. tire wear and make a determination on the BEST course of action. An alignment is a compromise. there are trade offs. Most want a straight driving non tire wearing alignment. Then there are those that want the most grip in high speed cornering. Some want faster quicker turn in, or high speed straight line stabilty(drag racing) they all have trade offs. But for most all communters and striaght car that doesnt wear tires( I llaugh when people say" I dont need an alignment, my car goes perfectly straight" well that may be, but your tires are showing cords inside
