A slight worry...

...I just got my alignment done at a local nissan stealership on Monday and just yesterday I notice that anywhere from 10-20mph while going straight or making a turn there is some sort of weird sound coming from the 2 front tires...as in mis-aligned? Someone please enlighten me

Not sure, but let me know when you find out what it is!

Are you thinking your tires are 'toed-in'? That would rub the sidewalls quick, I would think so anyway.

What sound, exactly, are you talking about?

It doesn't sound like it's rubbing on a fender or anything, but it sounds like a mis-aligned wheel...my dad had the same thing while turning at lower speeds after an alignment. Not sure if it's kind of normal since my tires only have about 500 miles on them and still need to wear in, or it may be something else. It's kind of hard to explain the sound

If you think that they might have misaligned your car, why not get back to them and ask to double check it?

BTW, did they give you the print out? If yes, is the toe within factory specs?
