I can't work out why you'd do this if the car had been fixed.

Subframe adjustment will do both angles but I'd guess they've done what they can. There's only so much movement available.

Don't worry about the caster reading - it's not a tyre wearing angle.


Why on earth would you get it fixed with one set of tyres & then fit another set? The alignment is to fine tune the chassis angles and also to compensate for any run out that the tyres might have.

What you've done is like having a misfire in an engine & getting it fixed & then puting another engine in and wondering why it's misfiring again.

They might have excessive run out but usually a L/R swap at the front will fix that. What brand are they? Are they directional or asymmetrical?

When they jack up the front where are they puting the jack?
Hey brad,

what does the above statement in bold mean ? The tyres are Hankook Ventus V8 RS 205 55 15.

OEM size were 185 65 15 Apollo Acellere. I went with Broader Hankooks for a more grippy ride with a more planted feel with the broader tyres and added weight to the steering.

thanks.

Edit: I have posted my experience with a Hunter Road Force GSP9700 in a separate post below.
