Default 2006 Balance and Alignment

After reading about some owners having alignment problems on their vehicles, I had my VY convertible balanced and aligned after 900 miles.

The factory balance was so good that the could not make any improvements. He attempted to balance two times but did not make any changes.

The only change made to the alignment was that the toe on the rear left wheel was .12 degrees. This was corrected to .03 degrees. I don't know if this will make any significant improvement in my tire wear.
