Got a 4 wheel alignment at tires plus the other day and have some questions. When they did the print out they put down my car as a 2000 impreza L 2.2 liter. I told them my car is a 2000 impreza 2.5rs not an L. I was told that their computer did not show that as an option and the factory alignment specs should be the same for the L as the RS since its the same chassis. Is this true? Where can I find the factory alignment specs for my car?

Since the alignment and new tires, BFGoodrich Traction T/A V's I've noticed my steering feels almost too light and it's not as easy to keep the car going in a straight line. Almost less responsive. Never even thought about this before. Maybe I'm just more aware of it because I'm concentrating on how the car drives since I got new tires.

I've heard that the steering racks for these cars have memory steer and that stiffer steering bushings help tighten up the steering, the stock ones are too soft. Maybe what I'm experiencing is just normal then.

thanks for your help

 

Thanks for the quick reply. I never got any alignment numbers from them so I cant give you any specs. Only know they set it to factory specs for a 2000 impreza L. If the y are the same for the L as for the RS It should be fine. They did say if wasn't far off.

Tire pressures are correct at 32 front 29 rear so thats not it. Steering just feels light and not very tight. You can move it back and forth a little and it doesn't even turn the car. Just wish it was tighter than that. Oh well it's probably just the way it is. Shouldn't be anything wrong car only has 30k on it.

thanks for you help though, appreicate it
