the guy that did my alignment dose alignment for most race cars. it was crazy how he alignment the car for tire wear ect. this is the best alignment I have ever got and not a cheap alignment from good-year or firestone ect. would only alignment the car to factory spects. my car is not aligned to factory spects.

This isn't a great video, but it's a little interesting. I don't like the idea of a mechanic eyeballing runout and not using gauges, but I think this is just an overview. Anyway, FWIW.

Default Vibration fixed

This was a strange one and it seems that the SC is very sensitive to wheel balance as the problem was still evident after a road force balance.
I found a suspension expert that will do a balance the old and slow way. By indexing the tire on the rim to minimise having to add weight. After this. Problem was gone !!! 😁😁
Love my SC

I have 25mm spacers on my rear wheels and have slight vibrations over 60mph. Do you have any anything like this?

I don't think anyone mentioned proper torquing of the lug nuts?


How about tire air pressure?
