All good info. Thank you! I had it aligned yesterday and the mechanic made a few adjustments on toe and camber to bring it all within the "computer's specs" which I observed as he did the work. I have one concern on the drivers side rear wheel. The camber was adjusted to -1.8 which was at the very top end of the acceptable range according to the computer. He could not adjust it to put it in the middle. He said the eccentric cam was already at it's highest point and recommended that I have that part replaced. He said he thinks it is worn. I couldn't tell by looking at it though. I started thinking maybe my struts are worn. Is this guy an idiot or could he be right? Also my caster was 7 and 6.9. I think the spec is 8, but wondering if those struts are indicating wear. My car has 60k miles and thinking I should replace my struts and have it all realigned again??
