I am pretty anal about it I am good at getting it pretty close. I checked it with a big level to it looks to be spot on. I'll have the alignment checked soon but I'm pretty sure its right. You'd have to see how crazy I am about a crooked or weird feeling steering wheel . Lol
strut mount AGAIN!!!

If it drives straight and steering "feel" is good you are prob OK on the alignment. Just keep an eye out for any tire feathering NOT caused buy hard cornering. Ive had many HUNTER alignments done and the car didnt drive right, so, - putting it on an aligner (that is prob out of cal) wont always help. Most are out of cal IME
-Good luck. And If I need strut tops I know where to buy 'em now
-
Now tell me why every time I jack up the Honda to do an Oil Change something snaps (audibly) and the alignment is off! The springs appear to be in their perches .. Hmmm .. Where else to look?

Just replaced the front strut assemblies on Camry yesterday, then had alignment done - used OEM so hope all stays good for awhile.
It was making some rattling noise and the tripletred tires wore fast - new Michelin tires were put on recently.

OK so it's making the noise again. It stops for a little while. This is weird but the issue is actually the spring not seating tight enough on the rubber mount on top. I can grab the spring and it has a little bit of play. So I can grab the spring like I'm trying to turn it and it'll move just a hair which is justbl enough . Now question is how do I fix it. Is it the spring or is it the rubber piece on top both look fine so its a little confusing. I could leave it because it won't hurt anything but I prefer to fix it if practically possible.

that's my story with my 88 Aries......but I just blew through 2 tires, I think I only had 30k on them....and had them rotated regularly, every 5000 miles. Steering wheel steers straight, let go, and it goes straight.....but yea, the camber or something must have been "off" because the fronts were wearing out bad along the outside edge.....I guess they were riding like this \ / rather than this | |
But the inside tread looked "OK" - I had like 5/32" of tread on the "inside"......unlike my KIA that was chewing up the inside edge, riding down the road like / \ lol
Yay for ASCII art
