Good Afternoon All,

I am attaching the Alignment Receipt from this past weekend. I had 4 new tires put on and an alignment done.
I am no expert on this, and from reading the FSM Specs on the Alignment, I think a few numbers look a little off.
I remember a post about this, but couldn't locate.
The car is a 09 G37x AWD, with a little over 140k on the dash.
Any input would be much appreciated.



Are these acceptable ??

Meh. Its mostly fine.

Typical of a "mass volume shop" alignment.

Alignment is set via a range. As long as the tech sees it close to nominal, they'll wrap it up and get the next one in. Its just a sloppy, but good enough alignment.

The front toe is slightly out...but you probably won't notice much tyre wear or anything like that.

Front camber is not adjustable so...you got what you got.

Rear left toe is what I would call excessive. The tyres will wear evenly, but at a faster rate. And you may get pull to the left. Its TWICE the amount as rear right. This bwoy (or gerrl) was in a rush...or your adjusters are stuck/maxed. I bet if they evened out the toe, the rear cambers may also match, since that curve is dependent.

Problem with this is it is "in the green". So the shop will tell you the same thing I just did about range. "We set it within an acceptable range. Custom alignments cost more". Something like this.


Unless this is a specialized shop and you paid for something more than normal?

Also...is the car lowered or modded?

Thanks for the response , that makes a lot of sense .... The car is bone stock ...
The rear Toe was what was making me scratch my head ...
They had a great set of 4 tires at a great price or else I would of went to a Tire Only Store which I usually go.

I'm going to go back and see if they can fix that.. thanks Again...

Agree with Hugh. The "Tech" most likely did just the bare minimum to get everything green, hit "print" and slapped it together. He sure could've fine-tuned the rear, but time is money for him.
