Alignment problem?

[Hazwan]

Kinda hard to explain, but the outside threads are rough:

4 wheel alignment was done less than 2000km ago. Should I be worried?

Looks like you got some Toe out to me.

if outside is worn out faster than inside, i would have to agree with carotman.
check your toe and make sure your camber is set right. take it to a diff place.

definately looks like a bit of a toe problem. i'd send you a pic of the front tire on my truck which has serious toe wear to let you compare, but it's rainy outside and i don't want to sit and watch for 30 seconds to take a picure of a tire.

does the shop have any gurantee on their work? if so, have them check your toe again, as they may have set it close enough to spec, but not truly at zero degrees.

I have the same problem but mine is worse. How do i adjust this and how much would a shop charge to do it?

[shepherd79]

it depends on the shop and their prices. just call around and ask them.
best place to get it done is at the honda dealer. They are anywhere from $60 to $120.

i need to fix mine also....since i put in the tokicos i notice that it stears to the right a lil bit...il have to check out my uncles shop if he wants to adjust it.

i need to do a alignment again

[frantik]

i had just gotten one when i fixed my car from the accident. but i need one sice i dorped it. but ill get one when i get new ball joints all around, and i get the konies in

I don't know what can go wrong in the last 2000kms, but I am 100% sure that I saw toe setting of 0.00 something on the final screen. He said something like too much toe in or something before the alignment and he fixed it.

I guess I should go back to the shop and ask again.

Stupid question:

Toe/camber is effected by the vehicle load, wouldnt the alignment setting with the vehicle fully loaded different from the original setting since the alignment was set with empty car? In this case shouldn't the toe setting different from original setting since I carry lots of stuffs in the car?

[AZmike]

Alignment setting do change based on how the car is loaded. Usually camber changes the most. Tire wear is most sensitive to toe, which can change some as the suspension compresses.

See if the alignment tech will let you load the car as it is usually driven. You may be surprised by the difference in readings. High-performance alignments are typically done with the car ballasted as it will be driven--this is especially important with lighter cars and softer springs.

The stock toe setting is a little bit in, front and rear iirc. I forget how much, but unless you really care about the enhanced the turn-in your zero toe is getting you a little toe in will probably be easier on your tires.

Make sure the tie rod on that side is not worn out as well. The toe will never stay straight if its bad.

I run -2 camber all around on my car no wear problems.
