Just got Suzy off the rack yesterday, & what a difference...
Going from alignment shop to alignment shop, asking questions until you find an alignment guy that isn't afraid to "go boldly" where others dare not tread, is a PITA, but well worth it when you finally find "the one".
I finally found him at a local purveyor of tires that sold major brands, but was NOT a company run store.
Wed morning, after I talked with the kid who did the work, I had a good feeling about him, as we were on the same page with every question I had.
I told him ahead of time, if you come across any worn front end parts, the alignment stops there, & I take it home & replace whats worn, then bring it back another day...his answer was the right one..."no problem".
Anyway, I made the appointment, brought her in, & told him to get the camber as close to 0 as possible, with everything else to spec.
With test drives included, he spent the better part of two hours on it, he even had to remove the belly pan to get enough room to get the shims in there.
Result?...Perfection...Steering wheel perfectly centered, drives straight down the road with no pull, & no longer wears the outside of the tires......
You know I'll be a return customer...
And next payday, I'm sending a thank you card, with a little extra sumpin for the kid...
