My guess is Jeff's alignment rack is out of calibration, the exact same thing happened to my IX; insane inner wear, got the alignment checked elsewhere, and the toe was fucked like yours.

oof dah, I better check mine too. This also reminded me I need to rotate my tires this weekend.

Those wires in the tires are just for more grip, no worries lol. I used to work at Discount Tires and we always used to bs about funny stuff like that.

Golden Valley tire doesn't mess up. I always took my car there for tire mounting and alignments.

So I order a fresh set of sumi's and had Ricer Pete swap them for me. While the car is up there (Youngstedt's Maple Grove Goodyear) I have them throw the car on their fancy new alignment rack

:smoking:

Thats actually what I do while your alignment is being done. :)

Changed oil in the evo on Tuesday, drove it to work and back Weds. On the way to work Thursday I think it sounds funny, oil light comes on and I hit the ignition off instantly....coasted down to a parking lot and voila: oil dumping out the drain. I must not have tightened the drain bolt!

Got a new drain bolt and some oil and she sounds ok....hopefully no issues down the road, only 7500 miles on this engine. Enough came out of the pan and onto the lot that I think it'll be ok but man I'm neeerrrrrrvous.

We don't need another local with their 3rd motor in less than 2 years. I bet you'll be fine. Fingers crossed for you bud.
