Front End Positive Camber Issues

[Ldub]

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...

Excellent! love hearing these types of stories. I'm a lucky one with a shop full of good guys who dont mind spending lots of time getting everything perfect.

Man, that's class!

...I dunno about all that...

I've found life just works better for me if I pay it forward, & pay it back...

Whatever you put out there, always flows back...multiplied...

It's one of MANY reasons that I think site support is so important...
(Ya know I've gotta get a plug in where I can)

Life works that way for sure.

Kinda like where it says the whatever a man sows then that's what he will harvest. And it will be returned to him in good measure, pressed down, and running over. For when the harvest comes man will always reap more than he sowed.

Sorry, just had to get that in...
