Default 4 Wheel Alignment

Anyone ever had to have a 4 wheel alignment on their C5/Z06? Is it possible w/ the Vette's suspension? I'm new to the Vette world, so I'm trying to learn their suspension quirks.

I had my new Z06 (new to me) up in the air yesterday (Installing rocker protectors) and I noticed some uneven tread wear on the rear tires. Inside tread was looking bad while outside tread had many miles left.

I'm just curious if 4 wheel alignments are possible or if I have another issue.

Not only possible, but really the only way to do it right.
Have had mine done twice over the last five years.

Not an expert, just my $.02... Good Luck!

Good luck finding a good one. And pay careful attention to your wheels. There's really no good way to mount an alignment machine to the wheels without leaving some sort of mark.
