I have no idea. They also said to put the car on the rack it would be 69.99. If there is something even 0.2 different between the 2 sides I am going to make them adjust it. Especially since I'm paying for it. Hopefully it is further out, so it will be easier to have covered. I took a pic of 1 of the tires, but not all of them.

Also going to find exact warranty verbiage tonight to see what it says. My take is if it is out of spec in under 36k, it should be covered......

Edit:I can't find anything in the warranty that says it covers it, maybe it is in the actual book in the car?

If possible. There is one adjustment in particular (rear camber, I believe, but I might be remembering incorrectly) that isn't adjustable.

Yup and that's exactly what an alignment is, an adjustment. Tell'em they're supposed to bill Subaru and not you. They can call and find out for themselves, which I'm sure what will happen.

I take that to mean it's not covered after the "one time only". That's what Martina @ SOA told me. Jetes got his done, jr0bb5 and myself got refunds, so the best thing to do is have them call.

But isn't the steering wheel supposed to be self-centering by design?

Yeah I don't know what his problem is. You could kill someone if they're not ready for your car to continue a sharp turn when they release your steering wheel.

It will recenter if you turn more then just a slight turn. I.e. most won't notice it, but I was being critical of the alignment

Nothing in this printout shows an alignment that's out bad enough to cause dangerous steering situations like was described.

Put new tires on my impreza sport 2013 and had it aligned. They said they couldn't align the rear left tire. Is this a problem I should go to Subaru about?




I don't know if this might help.

Nope! Camber is not adjustable on our cars from the factory! All the more reason to stick to a strict rotation schedule! Also another reason I don't like uni-directional tires!

I will be curious to hear what the dealership will do about a non-adjustable settings that's out of spec.

Usually, if that setting is out of whack, it mean that a suspension part is defective and should be replaced under warranty. When the suspensions parts is ok, the numbers should be ok as well.
