Well after the NoVa dyno day, I dropped my car off at the shop for the weekend so they could look at it and get a fix on what was causing it to drive like ***. Well there were 2 causes. First - I had apparently used a faulty tire pressure gauge when inflating my tires. Two tires were over 50 PSI...another was low 20's. I had inflated them to 40F/36R.

Now to the alignment rack...oh boy.

BEFORE:

Front toe: .15 left, .23 right
Rear toe: .24 left, .11 right

AFTER:

Front toe: .00 left, .01 right
Rear toe: .11 left, .12 right

So there you have it. Good as new.

 

 

That's great news.

 

What'd I say? Green does not mean okay. ALWAYS get the alignment sheet.

Glad Curry's could fix it for you.

Thanks dudes. Hopefully this will be the last chapter in the saga of "why does my car suck?"

I just realized the other day that it's been 4 months since I had a fully functioning car.

edit: **** - I've got the printout sitting right here.

Faulty tire pressure gauge, or faulty user?

Finally some good news.

 

Guys, thanks for all your kind words.

Dave - I am positive I inflated them to a consistent pressure. I was wondering if I had possibly screwed it up...but there's no way. I remember the gauge was actinng a little funny.
