How bad do you think my alignment is hurting me?
After looking at my front tires for no reason I noticed that left tire was straight and right was pointing outward a good bit.
Thinking that it might have been an illusion I put car on ramps and measured: front of tires 58 3/4" / rear of tires 58" apart.
So I raised front suspension to about hight during a pass.
still about 5/8" difference.
Now the car drives great and tire wear did seem a little fast.
And my last day at track I trapped 125.8... wonder if that was holding some MPH back? I would sure think so.

does the car pull to the side during launch, braking or normal driving....since that is a rather large amount to be off. Although typically there would be 1/16inch of toe-in on a setup....i would think 3/4" would be well off.
I would think it's costing you some MPH at the track, and eating up tires, but for a $55 alignment I'd do it regardless.
