im pretty sure this is a dumb question since i cant seem to find a thread about it at all, but, do i need to buy a camber kit to align my wheels?
i just got new tires and the shop said my camber is really negative and that they cant align cause no camber adjustment!?
did infinti think this car would never need aligning?

 

Stock suspension? There should be no reason why you can't get it into proper range if so. Front has no camber adjustment but rear does.

 

Any accident before? Anything bent or lose or doesn't look right?

 

Find a new shop

 

stock springs?

 

yeah stock suspension! what are my options to get the front aligned?

 

There are no dumb questions! If your car hasn't been in an accident a quality alignment shop should be able to align your suspension to factory specs so you get decent tire wear. How many miles do you put on your front tires before they need replacing? Find an independent brake/alignment shop in your area, have them check your suspension and alignment. Stores like Goodyear or Firestone don't know enough to solve your issues.

nope no accident! not too sure on how many miles since this is the first time i had bought tires since owning!

thanks for all the responses! love this forum!

gonna check another alignment spot out! thank u guys, i almost went to the stealership!

 

Let me tell you. I'd rather go to the dealership than some two bit shop or tire place to get my alignment.

 

Go to another shop, but if they also say the same thing, I suspect your car has been in an accident before, especially if your camber is "really negative" like what the shop says.

It doesn't have to be a major repair accident. It could be when you accidentally ran over a curb (quite common.) I see so many cars running over curbs when they make too narrow of a turn at a traffic light.

 

Ok you did.......you're seriously better off going to a shop that's in business to do alignment! Most Infiniti stealerships send there alignment work out to those shops and double your cost...aka stealerships!

Not disagreeing with you there. I send both my cars to a specialty alignment shop. If I need new tires balanced, I will have Tirerack ship them there also.

But most dealerships have their own alignment rack or share among several franchise dealerships next to each other. Dealerships will usually have some of the best tire balancing equipment also, ie. Hunter GSP9700.

 

hmmm, dont remember jumping off a curb but might be possible since my brother and friends drive my car every once and again! But the shop did tell me im negative 1 or something on both front and back! gonna go to a different shop to see if i can at least get the back!

any idea what my options are for the fronts since they cant be adjusted??
