Car Forum / Hyundai Cars / October 2008Wheel Alignment on '07 Tucson (4WD)
I'm told by my mechanic that 3 of the 4 wheels on my 10-months-old '07, 4WD Tucson require alignment. He also says that, normally, only the toe-in is adjustable on Hyundais, but that there is a $90/wheel kit on the after-market that would allow camber adjustment as well. Does that sound reasonable/un-reasonable to anyone on this list? Thanks! > I'm told by my mechanic that 3 of the 4 wheels on my 10-months-old '07, > 4WD Tucson require alignment.

Thanks! Camber is easily adjusted by ovaling out the holes where the strut bolts go through.

Thanks! I recently had my '05 Tibutron's fron end aligned at Firestone, and they charged me $45.00 to grind the holes to a slot in order to adjust the camber. Bill How did they determine the alignment angles were out of spec? How many miles do you have on the car? Alignment is covered 1 year/12 miles, presuming you haven't done/hit anything that would affec alignment. Camber adjustments are only reasonable if the camber is out of spec, an only then if it's significantly out of spec. Minor camber issues won' cause significant tire wear/life issues, and their effect will be nea zero if tires are regularly rotated. The most you're likely to experienc is a small pull to one side or the other (wheel turns a small amount on it own if hands off wheel) - Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.hyundai More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.htm |
