I have a 03 sedan on a coupe suspension exept for the front springs which are from a Z, I'm always wearing the inside of the front tires out and plus the noise it makes (Falkens). Last time I had a wheel alignment they said they
could not get it to spec. I still have the front coupe springs and was wondering if I put those on would that solve my problems with the tire wear.

Anybody????????

 

Z front should be okay, is everything installed correctly? Maybe you need a front camber kit (adjustable a-arms) or a better alignment shop. Chime in, guys.

 

I will try a another shop for the alignment but what could be not installed properly.

I just ran my hand over the front tires and its bumpy, had a garage rotate
them from the back, now the noise is in the back plus the garage said my
right front control arm has to be changed, is this the famous compression
rod or is this another part. I used to love my car but now its so so...

 

I ran Z fronts with my old car ('04).
Take some of the front toe out.... 0.00 to 0.02 range.
That will improve the wear & give you better turn in as well.

On my 08 I'm running 370Z fronts with 0.00 front toe & love it.

 

Did you get a printout of your alignment, if so what was the front camber? Im running Z springs in front and my camber is -1.3. They couldnt do any better, the stock specs between -.8 and .8. Everything else they were able to get in spec. Im just going to rotate my tires every oil change. Swapping the fronts to coupe springs would raise the car up about a half inch. It would probably get you closer if not within stock specs after another alignment.

 

Thanks guys but I'm not too good at the toe, camber and so on plus my paperwork is in French, looks like the left front is -1.3 while the right is -1.0
Would a worn out compression bushing cause the tire to wear out bumpy and
is the compression rod also called the control arm and if the bushing is shot
should I wait to try to get the car aligned.

I want to love her again....

 

You need to install front camber kits to help with that tire wear problem. I had the same issue with my sedan on stock springs.

 

Had an alignment done left front toe 0.4mm and right front toe 0.2mm
left front camber -0.54 right front camber-1.30, is that good or bad?

The guy at infiniti thought he did a good job, looking at the report it says
215/55/17 but I'm running the 18 mags from the mt, guess he missed that.
Would that make a difference..

-.054 is almost 0 and that is within spec.. -1.3 is not. you need to adjust the toe as well.
