Alignment question
The scenario:
I changed the spring/struts on my eg civic a few weeks back and didn't get an alignment before a big road trip. By the end of the trip, there was noticeable wear on the insides of both front tires (especially the right front). I put new tires on yesterday and had an alignment done today at a Honda dealership. The front toe came up at 0 so they didn't change it.
The question:
I have heard that sometimes toe can be bad enough that the machine reads it as 0. Has anyone experienced this?

I don't see how that's possible. I also don't see how you could have lowered your car, not gotten an alignment, the tires wore down, and yet the toe could be 0. I don't think that's right at all. Maybe you should try a different shop.

how did the tire wore down?
evenly?
camber wear?
how low?
unless you are drop like 3", you wont see noticiable tire wear that soon
