Alignment Specs Please
I need your help!!! If its not much of a trouble, someone please e-mail me @jbm2x@aol.com the alignment specs for an 01 gs430 w\l-tuned suspension. The car currently has 245\40\18 f &275\35\18 r . I finally got rid of the noise from the l-tuned suspension after a year, thanks to all of the cl members and TRD staff Jomar & Bob.

when I had my ltuned put on at longo, my service tech told me that they will use the same specs as the stock ones, and it's ok for ltuned cars. It's been ~5k miles since my install, I am not sure what the tire wear is cause I haven't checked yet. I've seen much discussion on here about this issue, seems like the solution is to get regular alignments.

Thanks for the info. I was talking to our tech here where I work & he told me to try to get the specs so he can do it. Left w\ no other option, I am going to this alignment shop in Long Beach on Monday. I can't take a chance w\my new tires wearing out right away. BTW if you are in OC drop by our toy store off Euclid & the 91. Thanks

Thanks guys!!! I finally went to get my 430 aligned. All tires now are at 0 degrees. I even have to change my front hub bearing. I was surprised it got messed up. They got the rear to 0 degrees by modifying the lower control arm on both sides. At max adjustment before, the tires are still @ -1 degree. Now I have all the room for adjustment. Hopefully this would preserve the life of my tires.

Sorry guys. I forgot all about posting the data. I'll do it tonight.
A note though: I'm not sure all the specs are to be 0s. The factory specs for my 98 weren't.
Did they tell you they were using the factory specs?
Was it a Hunter machine?
Just trying to help.

Their shop is Hunter equipped. I really liked it when they they weren't relying on the table that much.They have this manual device that shows how the wheels stand, if they're straight or leaning. Everything seems fine. Steering is lighter than when it was new. This might be due to the wheels being straight. I really hope this works.
