Maybe this is why my rear tires went bald at 8k miles

Pre alignment specs rear wheels:

Left rear camber: -1.9 toe -0.05

Right rear camber: -1.3 toe 1.18

Post alignment specs:

Left rear camber: -1.7 toe 0.11

Right rear camber: -1.7 toe 0.10

Makes me wonder if the first guy who said he did an alignment ever really did it and I was "nieve" enough not to ask for a printout... All comments welcome....

Yup, bad toe will kill tires quick. And always get a printout after an alignment even if you don't know what the numbers mean. You can always post it up and ask.

After I got my drop, my rear toes were really bad...so bad that as I was driving to get my alignment, that whenever I drove around a curve, you could hear the rear tires screech. my toes were 2.49 and 1.23 at that time. It was all squirrely.

This was another "quality" effort from the now defunct Scott Performance out here in norcal...This along with his "quality" "custom' exhaust that I had to toss in the dumpster after I got tired of it falling apart(had it fixed 3 different times) is probably one of the reasons he went out of business.... I'm glad that all he touched on my ride!!!
