potholeprotestr

Thanx to all who replied. I went back to garage where I had alignment done (a few months ago) last week and manager agreed they would look at it again free of charge.(Since he didn't notify me the results were off). Lesson: always insist on a diagnostic printout after the test. The tech there apologized and said he forgot to put the metal plates under right rear tire before alignment! Anyways, they showed me the numbers on the display during test, and all 4 wheels were within spec (-0.04" to 0.04" front toes and 0.00" to 0.08" rear toes). Readings were: 0.00" (left and right fronts toe), 0.05" left rear toe, and 0.06" Right rear toe. (I did jump a curb with the rear right wheel 2 years ago when wife and I on vac.) So, I guess those rear tie rods are alot more beefier and can take more abuse than the fronts. So now I figure maybe the wierd inside tire wear was caused by a combination of driving over those potty New Brunswick roads (Worse than swiss cheese) back in 2005 and also defective tires. It looks to me like the belts shifted. Both defective tires were serial #JJK2401 and good pair were serial #JJK5102 (4 Bridgestone Potenza RE92). Don't think I can say much to Mr. Bridgestone... (like David against Goliath) My next set will be Fuzion Vri. I heard they're excellent on wet pavement. However, I believe Bridgestone makes them as well together with Firestone... can't win...

Oh yeah - car is NOT lowered... so that is ruled out.

Also, is replacement of TO bearing only solution to the chirping? If i give her a shot of silicon lube spray up the clutch cable will that not help any?
