[V8] Alignment specs

[d saad]

I always print the specs from the bently and hand them to the tech at the
tire shop.
I am now starting to go back over their work and
re-tighten bolts to factory specs. It does not matter how many times you
ask - they are going to do what they always do. If they over or under
tighten important parts, they may slip or even break.
I still have to
stand there while they put my car on the rack for a tire rotation to make
sure the fool does not smash in the floor pan. This is the one area where
I can not DIY - and I hate it. You are totally at the mercy of some idiot
who just learned the trade this week.

If they ruined a set of
tires, I would not be bashful in asking for replacements.

And -
to partially answer your question - are your sub-frame bushings good, and
bolts properly torqued?

They aligned the V8 on 90 specs.  Interestingly only one front is

rims are stock.
