Hey guys, I am in the DC area (land of potholes) and I am trying to get my alignment done. I have about 4k miles on my car and the alignment is already off. Instead of going to the dealer which is really far from me, I went to firestone (got a really good mechanic that does my modding) and they did my alignment before however, the steering wheel was still off-center but the car still drives straight. Their alignment specs for infiniti/nissan are not the same as the dealer specs, so everytime they try it's either off to the left or off to the right.

I am looking for either the infiniti or nissan wheel alignment spec sheet since i have a lifetime wheel alignment hook up with firestone. Anyone have any info or atleast can point me to the right direction?

This is taken from my factory service manuel for a 5th Gen. hope this helps.

 

My GOD you are the man, thanks a billion. I am going to them first thing in the morning.

 

hehhe, anytime. I have the CD version of the manuals

 

Do you have one for 18-inch tires?
Does the width matter at all?

 

Thanks for bringing back an ancient thread .

It doesn't matter the wheel size so follow the above specs.
