Info Needed: wheel alignment

[bigdee]

ok so this morning i went for a wheel alignment on my car and the guy who's doing the alignment tells me that theres no way to get a maxima to 100% cus you cant adjust the rear and cause i have coilovers i think this is bullshit but the car does drive alot better my right side was -3.3 and left side was -1.1 so he left the left side alone and made the right side -1.3 does anybody know if this is true that you cant get it to where it needs to be cause of coilovers he had it on a hunter alignment and i know alot of people that have got wheel alignment from this peace and never had any problems

I believe they can only align stock factory specs for your car if you are dropped..

i'm pretty sure you can adjust toe in the rear.

^ Toe? Really? How? I thought rear was fixed camber, caster, and toe.

the rear you cant adjust... you can go to nissan or a special guy to have the rear beam bent to have it perfectly aligned

ya he showed me on the computer giving him the specs the rear is fixed but what i wanna know is isnt the coilovers 32way adjustable so couldnt he change the angle on the coilovers to get that 1.1 and 1.3 to get it where it needed to b

ahhh my mistake...if it's the solid rear axle then no.

forgot nissan went cheap starting the 4th gen.

bigdee, I am having this issue as well. I went to Firestone and the guy said (with an attitude) that he can't do the wheel alignment since it's lowered and that the angles are all messed up now. He then tells me he can do it but there will be no warranty.

So, is it better to just get the wheel alignment knowing it won't be perfect to OEM specs rather than not getting a wheel alignment at all?

My car's steering felt no different when I had my H&R's and Tokico HP's put in.

^ You NEED an alignment. You front toe is waaaay off.
