Hi folks,
Does anyone know what they've successfully used for their Toe suspension settings? I'm looking for set of metrics I can provide the Firestone technician this week.
I've done some extensive searching and can't find any specific recommendations for the toe suspension settings online. I'm looking for a cure to rapid wear on inside of tire and the fact that the car seems to drift to the right.
Background: So I've got an '07 Mazda 5 with 49,000. I've just bought 4x Bridgestone Ecopia tires and the lifetime alignment from Firestone. These guys did the alignment with the set of old tires which were wearing badly on the inside (Sumitomos that were warrantied for 40K, but nearly bald on the inside of the tire after 20k of use. Discount tire rocks, BTW. They gave me $82 credit per tire in honoring the warranty when NTB and Mazda dealership wouldn't touch it.)
The car has a noticable pulls to the right on the highways or any road; when i'm cruising in other cars my family has, i can just set the cruise control and literally let go of the steering wheel and it will go straight. I want my Mazda to track straight. And I want optimal life out of my new tires.
Firestone has now set the alignment twice and I'm it's still pulling to the right. I'm getting annoyed; I'll post the specific print out in a bit.
