Did you have the camber arms and toe bolts installed in the rear? With that much toe, i would think they would've told you about this.

So you don't have any camber kits on your car?

If that's the case, then the only thing Infiniti could fix, they did fix. Which is your front toe.

And yes, if you have a g35, then my camber kits will fit.

^ ? The alignment shop I went to easily fixed the rear toe for me, why would infiniti not be able to do that?

Fixing rear toe is a simple thing to do. Since it's so simple, it wouldn't make sense to me that they couldn't unless there was too much adjustment needed than what the stock toe bolt could offer. The stock toe bolt has a minimal amount of adjustment. That's why aftermarket rear camber kits have a replacement toe bolt.

I guess it is possible that Infiniti was too inept to turn a simple bolt, but I find it unlikely.

Looking at it again, it seems like the rear toe wasn't changed at all. Maybe they felt the toe bolt was already maxed out and they didn't even try.

I had the same problem with infiniti.so I paid 30 bucks to have my allignment checked at a shop down here (autoglitz)after noting my tire wore down way too much after 2k miles. They showed me the print out and toe was out of spec allaround so i had them fix it up.

Ill never go to infiniti for allignments again.

Well, I've had OI do my alignment once, and it was fine. But I'm not gonna vouch for them or anything.

But if you didn't install the toe bolts, you may have difficulty finding anyone who will be able to fix your rear toe.

I'm not sure since the 07 g35 sedan is a v36. I should have been more clear. The camber kits should be good for v35 or z33.

well, if you dont have the toe bolts that is probably the reason why the toe is off. Im pretty sure someone did the alignment on it since your camber in the rear is even at -0.5 on each side. But they should have told you they couldnt get the toe in spec. out of spec toe will easily wear tires faster than a little camber.

What springs are you dropped on? Im getting ready to put some Tanabe NFs on my v36 sedan and was wondering if I could get away w/o a camber kit or toe bolts.

I hate the fact our cars come with poor toe and camber from the factory. Just ran through some 400 Rated Treadwear tires the whole tire is fine except for the inside. Its rediculously low......and i only changed em 2-3K miles ago.....Why does looking sexy (definatly talking about the car) have to cost so much....

GO TO PRS. Orlando Infiniti screwed up my car the first time I ever took it to them for service. That was the first and last time they ever saw me and my car.
