Wheel alignment shop
Just put on the new F1 D3's and had Town Fair Tire in CT. align it, not good.
ANYONE know of a good place in Connecticut to have my 2000 aligned properly along with checking the trim height .
They had no idea that the front Caster/Camber could be shimmed for proper adjustment and every time they touched something and retested the front it changed considerably. they retested 9 times. the right rear maxed out on camber adjustment at -.6
here are all the numbers though in the end I need a GOOD Corvette place to have it adjusted correctly.
camber
LF -.1 / RF -.3
LR -.2 / RR -.6
caster
LF 7.2 / RF 6.6
Front Steer ahead
.01
Toe
LF .06 / RF .05
LR .02 / RR -.03
total toe
front .10
rear -.01
thrust angle rear
.03
car drifts to the right and more importantly i get some slight vibration through the gas pedal like a bearing drone. as many before not a sound or vibration before tires and alighment. though it is not really loud or bad it is there.
