aligned my car today
its has 35k on it, thought it was about that time and I lowered it about 3 weeks prior. what a pain in the ass. first task is getting it on the alignment rack when so little ground clearance. had to construct all sorts of ramps and bridges :banghead:
but what suprised was how much bad my Toe was, and it wasnt even that noticable when driving. I was like -1.58 on one side an like +.58 on the other when total suppose to be +.08 thought of the day, get your car aligned yearly, specially when tires are $300+a pop |
Yeah, I had to put new tires on my Z back in October right after I bought it and had it 4 wheel aligned then. With the price of tires, yeah, it's a pretty sound policy. The guy said the alignment was pretty much dead on.
When I bought the car, the weasel I bought it from had swapped out the Z06wheels and tires for C5s with bald spots on the front inside edges. I didn't know enough about Corvettes to know the difference, and he specifically said those wheels were "more expensive options" for the Z06. So I drove all the way from Ft. Lauderdale to Tallahassee on those unsafe tires. He HAD to know about them and knew about the long drive I had ahead of me. Those inside edges of the front tires were nearly impossible to see without actually looking for that problem. Never trust a used car salesman, especially from New York. :mad: |
I really need to get mine aligned as well. I will be doing it in the next few weeks. I'll post the numbers when I get it done.

After I lowered my vette and drove about 400 miles, I had a 4-wheel allignment done. The tech said it was barely off in the front, but better to have it done than ruin tires, although I'm still running runflats. I plan on upgrading the rims and tires shorlty and most likely will have the allignment done again.
