Alignment dilema... 700 1989

Swap the front tires left to right and see what happens, you may have a tire with a belt that is delaminated. Just cause the tires are new doesn't mean they are any good. If that doesn't change anything, put the 2 fronts on the rear and vice versa. Also, many shops have alignment equipment that is out of alignment, yeah I know, how does that happen. Well, it does, I had a tire jockey place tell me my camber on my 940 was 1 degree negative on the pass. side. I thought that was a bit weird as the car tracked straight and there was no unusal tire wear. Shortly thereafter, when I got new tires, I had a good shop check the alignment and they said it was spot on. After verifying that the tires are not a problem, you can recheck at a different shop. Also, get print out from Tires Plus, is camber and castor within spec?
