Negative Camber?

[IM28702]

If you're referring to "Tramlining", where it likes to jump around in the grooves made by trucks in the right lane, that's not all that uncommon for cars with big tires. The excessive (or exciting) level of negative camber in your car can exaggerate that. If you're not going to spend a lot of time on the freeway, and you like the way it feels... Leave it. You'll likely wear out the inner edge of the tires a bit faster unless you drive like you're being chased, but that could just be the cost of a car that behaves the way you like.

Routes like this with your best buddy behind you qualifies as being chased!

Indeed. That's good times for sure. Leave the alignment alone and go beat the pants off it!!!

So I took the car in for a 4 wheel alignment and found out that the rack and pinion was shot. Was lucky to pick up a used rack off a 12,000 mile Z and replaced it. Drives just like it should now!
