This is the 3rd time I had to take my girls g35 to get an alignment done.

We drive mostly highways and country back roads so i don't understand how it keeps on going off.

Also the camber is not the same for the front tires. It's .4 off of each other. The left side is -1.0 and the right side is -1.4. that just seems to much of a difference to me.

Could a bad control arm bushing or ball joint or something cause the camber to go out of whack?

Our last set of tires, were bridgey re050 and the inside got completely chewed up on the right tire. I'm blaming it on the camber.

Car is getting traded in soon, should i bother resolving it before hand?

Any advice would be great, thanks.

 

I can totally understand your frustration! Who ever did your alignment should have been looking for whatever is throwing your alignment off during the first visit. Locate in your neighborhood an independent brake/alignment shop, they're the ones that need to check your suspension. Ask your family and friends if they know of a shop that does the job right....it won't be the dealership or places like Firestone/Sears or PepBoys!

I noticed that on the highway, when i go over a bump on the road. The car becomes alittle unstable like it sways side to side slightly.

The car is complete stock premium package with the 17 inch wheels. It has about 72k miles on it

 

Yes, worn bushings can throw things out of whack. Check the compression rod bushings. Those are KNOWN for cracking prematurely.

Nissan issued a redesigned compression rod and bushing because of this.

They later decided it was too expensive to replace the rods under warranty so now the just replace the bushings.

 

check your control arm bushings, too. they will go bad, the way the suspension is designed. That is directly related to your camber.

 

If you are about to trade it in I wouldn't spend a dime on fixing the issue.

 

yeah, it'll get expensive real quick trying to fix it.
