questions about alignment

What you should kook at is:

Individual toe and camber for the rear, and individual camber, caster and toe for the front. Before and after!

I'm most certain you'll see these angles have not been adjusted (Note! Caster might not be adjustable on your car) and you were the victim of what we in the alignment business call: "A toe and go".

You pay for a full alignment, and only get your toe in and thrust angle set, providing that was even done properly, if it was a mass merchandiser.

To set front toe, should be no more than a $15.00 job, and maybe $20.00 if the tie rods were seized. Rear toe is a per car basis, all are different. So in essence, if you only got a toe in adjustment, and the camber is off. the tires will wear unevenly, negative camber leads to inside wear, and positive camber leads to outside tire wear.

I hope this helps?

The message from "Nikko" contains these words:

I think it's more likely that you were ripped off.

In London UK, the usual price for an alignment check and toe-in adjust with no problems is 20 gbp.

Wait and see if your tyres wear evenly from now on. Mind you, if they were OK before, your alignment was probably OK.

That's a good scam....

Give every flat tire car an alignment. LOL!
