Hi all!
I understand that stock, these cars only have toe adjustments in all four corners.
I hit a pothole and popped my 225/45/17 WinterSottoZeroIII of my front left wheel. Luckily, being the reasonable person I am, I had a summer set of wheel that I promptly put on.
Maybe it was placebo, but I thought the car handled worse than I remembered. I got the car aligned today.
Sure enough, the front left had a weird amount of toe out while the front right had a reasonable amount of toe in. I got the guys to get the toe to be more or less zero everywhere.
Again, perhaps it's placebo, but i think the car drives better now (initial turn in seems better and more consistent going either way)
Strangely though, the rear toe was all messed up before the alignment (even though I didn't go through the pothole with them) and the rear right still has a lot of negative camber. Does Subaru ship cars from the factory with this much variation in alignment?
By the way, the guys at Firestone (this local one has a decent reputation) say that the front left suspension looked fine; I personally didn't see anything strange either when i was switching out the wheels.
Cheers!
