At Firestone getting an alignment. Literally standing in the window watching them work and making sure they know I'm watching.

Alignment specs. They said they fixed the steering wheel angle in the comp but now I have to turn the wheel a bit right to stay straight. Looks like I'll be removing the steering wheel and adjusting that...

That is because the rear toe is not right. Green don't mean good. LMAO. The toe in needs to be set dang near the same on left and right. Try again. Tell them to set the toe in the rear and front dead middle of spec.

Agreed. WTF?

Yeah.. the tech said he got the toe out as far as he could, like he was proud about it. I'm going in at 7am Friday to get this fixed. Apparently standing in the window isn't enough. Maybe this time I'll try standing over his ****ing shoulder.

This is where I'm spoiled by having a race shop near my place.

You have to teach them what you want. Never have I had one that knew exactly what I wanted and how I wanted the car to feel. I always ask for an alignment sheet before the car get's pulled of the rack. But if you tell them to set the toe to dead middle of spec, this will get you about the best street alignment which most of us want.

I haven't heard of it till now. I bought that lifetime alignment from douche-stone and it's right next to my job & casa... but I'm seriously considering writing off that investment. Thanks!

Agreed. It's still annoying that they can't read my mind.. or at least present me w options. Then again it's a Firestone..

They do a lot of track cars and lowered cars. A good amount of Zs and Gs are in there for adjustments and they have pretty good reviews
