Default Simple allignment question

when you get your R alligned, it is barely 10 minutes before you hit a bump and say goodbye to the hard work done to keep the R within spec.

My question:

Does honda make the allignment specs in assumption that the R should be kept within spec at all times in order to achieve desired goals (ie good tire wear and handling) or is it ok to end up way out of spec until the point where the R feels like **** before the next allignment? I am so damn paranoid that i swerve like a mad man on the street to avoid everything.

Help?

just dont drive like a tard on the street and yes, you will remain, relatively in spec.

25k before my first alignment and all was pretty much in spec.

what is pretty much? you are within spec or not.

I dont drive like a tard. I drive as safe as possible and avoid **** on the road.

can you specify what "reletively" in spec means? are u refering to toe, camber caster? and you be more specific? Is there any way that a tech could F up something that makes it easy for the car to be knocked outta spec? Does it mean my R is F'ed up if it exits spec easily?

Tallk to me 255.55.5.2.52.5.2.5.2.5.5.2

Could you not just get an alignment with a year warrenty on it. I know here theres a shop I go to that if it comes out of spec within a year they will go ahead and realign it for me for no charge.

Does your car have stock suspension components? If yes the only adjustment you have is toe. For toe, it wouldn't go out of spec just from hitting small bumps. Toe stays within spec quite reasonably.

If you have aftermarket UCA for camber adjustment, it's a totally different story.

You would have to hit something pretty damn hard to knock the car 'out of alignment'. As stated above, the only adjustment on a stock ITR is front and rear toe.
