Wheel Alignment Tip

I just got back from the wheel alignment shop and this is my second trip to it. The first trip was the major one when he made some major angle adjustments after my JIC drop. The ride was fine but I could feel that it was not centered to my perfection. I went back and he told me it was at factory specs and my wheels were straight and flat. I argued with the guy and after he put my car back on the alignment machine for another 30 minutes or so, he showed me the results. There was a range that they can put your wheels on and it is .10-0. This is the recommended specs saying that the car is straight. I still said that the wheel wasn't centered and felt awkward to my standards so he made the car at .05-0. This setting was near perfection and now my car rides centered and I can't believe it made a difference. The guy said you won't really see the difference but I sure can.

So if you guys ever get a wheel alignment after the drop, make sure you tell the mechanic to make the range .05 - 0. This will make a difference.
