Maybe the Worst Toe a Maxima has ever had
Finally Got my car aligned today. Here are my Results
Left Front
Camber (before) = -1.8°
Camber (after) = -1.8°
Caster (before) = 3.1°
Caster (After) = 3.1°
Toe (before) = 0.61"
Toe (after) = 0.06"
Front Right
Camber (before) = -1.1°
Camber (after) = -1.1°
Caster (before) = 3.0°
Caster (after) = 3.0°
Toe (before) = 0.46"
Toe (after) = 0.04"
Total Front Toe Before = 1.06"
Total Front Toe After = 0.10"
I'm still a little out of spec, but my outter tie rods are in very bad shape, and need replacing.
I'll post a pic later of what this alignment did to 2 sets of tires, that were brand new.
P.S.- My sloppy steering I was complainin about a while back is cured.

Your camber is heavy, especially the left front. I'd look into correcting that with bolts or your going to eat the inside edge of the LF tire.
Does the car pull right slightly? The heavy LF camber will cause that.
My new toy for the summer!

My outter tie rods have waay too much play in there and will be changed very soon. Plus I'm on D2's so they can adjust camber much easier. When I get the new inner and outter tie rods on, I'm going to be more picky about the alignment specs.
Nice new Summer Toy! Convertables are perfect for the summer.

Yea Tires plus Did it. I was waiting for them to align the car and I went off to publix. They called me asking "are there some type of special struts on the car?"
Yes there coilovers. They didnt make a real comment about being lowered, I think they thought my struts were blown so they were double checking.
