Wheel alignment

The tires on the front are worn and smooth on the inside track. The tires on rear are worn evenly but are down to the wear bars. So, I need new tires.

Do I need to get both the front and rear wheels aligned or do I only get the fronts aligned?

Rick, first of all let me start by saying again that you have one beautiful car! I am enjoying the picture thread.

I'm sure you're aware of how the alignment must be done on the 928. The suspension is *very* stiff on the 928, so it is very important that the shop performing the alignment knows that the car cannot be raised for a "shake down" unless the car can be driven a reasonable amount before continuing the alignment or after replacing suspension parts.

Here is a link with better detail about wheel alignments on the 928.

Thank you Austin, I really appreciate the compliments. I really love my 928 and try to make it look, function and drive as well is it can. It's definitely not perfect but it is pretty nice to me.

I am aware of the not lifting etc. that our 928 need for proper alignments. I've printed off, I think everything! I guess what I wasn't sure about is the rear alignment. Nothing is much said about that.

Doesn't sound like it would be necessary given the tire wear is even as you indicated.

These cars generally don't run much camber out back and it sounds like your alignment is right on. If you are running some negative camber up front (and we all do...some more than others) then it sounds as if your fronts are wearing properly as well. As long as the wear on the left side matches the wear on the right side and you are not unhappy with that inner tire wear up front AND the car handles well, then I say LEAVE IT ALONE! Don't fix what ain't broke as they say!
