Rotate them tarz again, grab a 15mm wrench and some channel locks and adjust your toe. The pictures looks as if you have too much toe-in. Its a 10 minute job to adjust it yourself.

Could you explain to me what a toe is? Yes I am ignorant to these type of things I admit, but like I said I dont live in the country and I have higher priorities.

I had a Buick Regal I think the car was a 1980 model with springs. Man did it drive like you were floating in the clouds. Fiat take notes.

I'm sure that same mushy setup would do great offroad and in off camber situations. C'mon man, you can't be serious here.....

Excuse me but are you trying to knock people who live in country by implying that we are lower class or don't have things to do? Best think again if so

The DIY alignment write-up has been mentioned and linked numerous times in this thread. Open it.

And what higher priorities? You've been out of work for 14 months. Grab a wrench and fix your alignment so you can quit whining about the f'd up wear pattern on your tires.
