how do u tell?

 

tires are wearing on the inside or outside unevenly. veers to the side dramatically on level ground.

 

I was getting a bit of a squirrely feeling on the corners of a spirited drive. Took it in and had the alignment done to the UK specs, and I absolutely love it. The car feels solidly planted at all times. I think it really made a difference at Beaver Run last Fall Colors.

When in doubt, time to align!

Althernative option to UK spec is setting front and rear camber at -0.8 and -1.8 each. I find this setting to be very compromising and close to UK spec in performance.

Another thumbs-up for the UK alignment. Whenever this subject comes up, I have to chime in. I've had mine since last December, and it REALLY makes a difference in cornering stability.

I also haven't noticed increased wear on the rear tires, although most of my driving's pretty sedate. Give the UK alignment a shot. I bet you'll like it.

I get an align about every 6 months.

 

My mistake about the newer cars - forgot that not everyone has an '02:

Here's (I think) the granddaddy of alignment threads:
