350Z factory quality issue

http://www.autoweek.com/cat_content...._code=09000774

From what they are saying the toe on many vehicles was not properly set.

The result has been very bad noise noise and improper wear.

Granted the are making the adjustment... but I don't know that I'd be very satisfied with them just flip-flopping the incorrectly worn tires rather than replacing them.

My car didn't come aligned at all. I wanted to put some negative camber in it anyway so I got it realigned right after i bought it making it a non-issue. Alot of Evo owners, though, have tire wear issues just like this.

How about stock front camber alignment for the 4th gen f-bod's? For some reason, postitive camber up front is what the factory sets them up with.. I believe its up to .9 postive is deemed acceptable tolerance..
