Fix Feathering - I know this has been discussed
I know this topic has been talked about until everyone is blue in the face.
My wife's STOCK 2005 G35 Coupe A/T has feathering on her passenger front. Factory ride height with the factory 17"s. Makes road noise as everyone knows.
I know there is no way to adjust camber from the factory (other than replacing bushings). The car was aligned at 48,000 when these tires were installed. The car now has 72,000 miles. The car should be engineered to allow quality tires to last more than 24,000 miles without having problems. I did get the alignment print out and still have it for records. Everything was put into spec. The right front tow was set to 0.04". The Left front was set to 0.03" and the camber on the right side is -1.4" and left set at -1.1". Its a stone stock suspension.
The tires are Yokohama Avid Envigor. They are great tires, but this problem is not the tires fault.
Will replacing the compression bushings to Urethane ones help? Will doing that along with White line Inner Control Arm Bushing Kit cure this problem?
Thanks
