Default Serious alignment problems...

I installed Tien S. Techs on my xB awhile ago. However, I never put 2 and 2 together when it canme to having the tires realigned. Needless to say, I had SERIOUS front tire damage after about 9 months. I have taken the srpings off, but i am dying to put them back on. I haven't found a local place that'll do it. Anyone have any suggestions??? Anybody know the specs??? Please help, I miss my springs!!!

Toyota dealer or any decent tire shop. Specs should be in their alignment machine's computer. Go to TRDsoarks.com and look for parts for you model. They have the specs listed like a part and you can print them free. You will have to replace your tires before you align if there is very bad damage. Most shops won't do it with badly damaged tires.

Who put on the springs in the first place? You should always get an allignment after a spring install. I have about 20k on my car since having the Tien S Techs installed with no problems with tire wear.

I'm guessing something was wrong with the origional install. I had my alignment checked immediately after putting on my Teins and alignment was only off a tenth of a degree.
