got this email from Nevarmore up in Kent now, thought I'd ask around here:
_------------------------
went in to goodyear for a wheel balance and alignment today. it
wouldve been $90 if they hadnt noticed that my right rear wheel is so far off
that they couldnt fix it, and suggested i go to a frame shop and come back to them for new tires.
i do see where i need new tires, the misalignment did lead to some horrendous
wear. as yet i have to wait until ive got another day off work to go in for an
estimate.
Any ideas? ask around at CR and see if anyone has anything useful to
tell me about a massively out of spec toe/camber. camber is at 3 degrees and
spec is -0.2 to +0.8 degrees, and toe's is at .43 with a spec of -0.05 to 0.15.
the left rear toe is at .75, everything else is at or very close to spec.
inquired about LT tires as well, id have to get some r15 steelies first.
-----------------
I'm thinking the horid camber could be related to his bad air shock lowering the car, and that would effect the camber. The toe, I'm stumped on, other then having whacked something like a curve. any guestimates on price of a frame straightening job?
also, he needs rims tongue.gif
