As posted in an earlier thread, I am experiencing bad tire noise after having the sway bar replaced to fix a creaking sound going over speedbumps and the like. After closer inspection, the inside of my rear tires are experiencing abnormal wear, and the outer part of my front tires are showing abnormal wear as well. Handling is 'nervous' and taking turns hard to check handling is producing much more understeer than I'm used to.
It seems as though camber and toe might be the culprit, but shouldn't these have been easily set after an alignemnt, which the dealer claims they did? How difficult is it to get these setting back to factory specs? What are the exact specs so I can be prepared when I contact them tomorrow? Finally, at 30,000 KM, can I request a tire replacement due to obvious incorrect settings they made, keeping in mind that the tires had plenty of tread life in them when I put them on in the Spring? This whole thing is making me nervous because my warranty ends in couple of weeks, and I want this resolved. Thanks for your continued advice.

You have an alignment problem. Did you ever nail a pot hole? Really Jack a speed bump?
Definately time to have a pro check things out.
