Just got back from the dealership (Bowser Pontiac, Pittsburgh, PA). I had to completely replace my front tires last week. Went with the Fuzion ZRi's for 109 a piece. Will let you know how those work out....
So the alignment took about 30 minutes and was done by a guy that works on all the GTO's that come in there. He was "shocked" at the numbers, but said he seen them that bad on others. You tell me what you think.
BEFORE
Front Left
Camber = -0.1 (Range -0.7 to 0.3)
Toe = -0.05 (Range 0.0 to 0.17)
Front Right
Camber = -1.3 (Range -0.7 to 0.3)
Toe = -0.65 (Range 0.0 to 0.17)
TOTAL FRONT
Cross Camber = 1.2
Total Toe = -0.11
AFTER
Front Left
Camber = -0.1 (Range -0.7 to 0.3)
Toe = 0.08 (Range 0.0 to 0.17)
Front Right
Camber = -0.4 (Range -0.7 to 0.3)
Toe = 0.10 (Range 0.0 to 0.17)
TOTAL FRONT
Cross Camber = 0.3
Total Toe = 0.18
Rear numbers were all within specs on both before and after.
I left out caster numbers because they were not measured in the before (at least not showing on my printout).
If I left any details out, please let me know. Hope this helps someone else. As far as them paying for it and a new set of tires, it is working it's way up the chain. I really wish I would have taken this in sooner.
I'll take my end of the blame for anything on this car that I should, but to me, it's obvious that the alignment was off when I received the car.
(And yes, this same post appears on other forums) :cheers
