Alignment Help Thread

Thanks!

I own a 2014 Camaro 2LT/RS that now has just turned 30K on the clock. Car is always garaged and well taking care of. Recently (5,000 miles) put on new factory OEM wheels and Pirelli P Zero tires, when doing so I reluctantly took her to the local Chevrolet dealership for a front end alignment even though previous tires wore perfectly, no complaints of handling.

They charged me $119.00 for 4 wheel alignment and another $11.65 for shop materials?

Fast forward 5,000 easy miles and I rotated my square setup front to rear. I noticed the tires that came from the rear is feathering or scuffing on the outside of the tires? From what I read this has to do with "toe in".

After researching local shops I have found one that others have highly recommended. Today at 11 she goes in for another alignment, this will be about 5,025 miles since last. Cost for this shop is $69.00 for 4 wheel alignment and ZERO cost for shop supplies, which they didn't understand either?

I have read thru majority of this section and having a difficult time honing in on the "stock" factory specs for a 2014 2LT/RS Camaro.

Hi guys. I just installed the Hotchkis 1 inch lowering springs on my 2010 Camaro SS Auto. I have stock 20' wheels with stock tyre dimension. I need alignment. What is the best numbers for street using? @Hotchkis

Best numbers in this situation are more about your driving and how hard you generally take corners. If you can describe your corner driving as mild, the factory preferred specs should work quite well. If it's more like 'moderate' to sometimes a bit harder than that, I think there are some 'performance street' alignment suggestions somewhere in this section (if not in this thread) that suggest the use of cambers around -1° or a bit more up front and about a quarter degree less negative than the front for the rear.
