Check your alignment periodically
I got the car back from alignment.
At my dealer, there is a young mechanic who always do the alignment work on my car. By the way he is the best guy I've known so far to do that work.
My guy always prints out the specs before and after the alignment.
In just 2 months and 4000 miles, the car went crazy out of specs:
- Front left wheel at zero toe while the right one at 0.07° toe OUT.
- Rear left wheel at 0.39° toe in and right one at 0.34° toe in (0.05° difference).
- Rear camber off by 0.3°
- Thrust angle at 0.03°
- Steer ahead at 0.04°
