do you do your own alignments on a rack?

I did it on a Hunter machine on the Yaris.... but I just watched the last time they did on the toaster..... and I always get print outs....

Back when I worked at the tire shop for a few years I used to run the alignment machine

hmm, well whatever machine i use at toyota my toe-out is within spec for the xA :)

I am taking my car back to get aligned tomorrow (since I hit a huge crater in the e-way, and blew a tire out)
so I will be able to tell you for sure then

Black Yaris · 06-16-2009, 11:35 PM

plus I went from a 205/40R17 7in ET45 with 25mm adapters to
205/50R17 7in ET 45 with no adapters

I changed the ride height and track slightly

Dumb question but is it really Thaaaat important to get an alignment if I just add 4 washers to adjust the camber on the rear but don't mess witht the toe? I just got one 4 months ago and the only place around here that will touch my car charges 70 bucks for an alignment.

Black Yaris · 06-16-2009, 11:38 PM

yes you NEED an alignment after changing the specs like that..... $100 says most places will not touch it though

Well in that case. How the fuck do I tweak the front camber a couple negative degrees while I am at it

well, remember that the xA and xB are not identical for alignment spec ;)

buy camber bolts.

If the spacers are that much of a problem, take them off. No point of messing your car and tires up just to be "cool" and stuff.

this statement is unnecessary. we might as well all drive completely stock vehicles if we live by "your logic"

have you determined where it's touching? specs on wheels and tires plz

wheel:
width
offset
diameter

tire:
width
aspect

thanks!

iirc you bought 13mm spacers?

where is it rubbing?

btw the car looks good :)

PHXDEMON · 06-18-2009, 04:39 AM

Wheels are 17x7.5 +42mm offset

The tires are 215/45/17

The tires did rub on the rear a little before installing the spacers. I tried my best to take a pic of where they are rubbing ( as you can see the rear quarter metal is tweaked out a little bit from trying to hammer roll the fenders. The problem is I think the tires are hitting up metal higher in the wheel well.

PHXDEMON · 06-19-2009, 12:46 AM

I think adding some toe out on the rear may help but I don't want to prematurely wear the tires.
