the problem can be fixed. if you are out of warranty, look for a good shop that can install an aftermarket shims to correct the problem. i brought this up to the dealer, but this option will not be allowed by nissan. if you are still under warranty, go ahead and get the dealer/nissan to replace the rear assembly. you can also try and see if your dealer can do an "internal goodwill." it may work if youre in good terms with them or your warranty barely expired. please post your progress.

Replying to: mtbmax (Jan 15, 2009 12:45 pm) on my altima.. I had the same thing.. (99 alty). I went through 3 sets of tires int eh 1st yr. After repeated trips back to the dealer, they installed shims and solved it. I was there under the car when the tech said what was the fix. He said that he used to work at a performance shop and that is what they did. So he did it right there and then with me under the car and that was it.
#7 of 9 Wow the rear alignment was so far out and no correction? by shabbasings Jul 29, 2009 (4:07 pm)
What do I say to the dealer to get the toe corrected? I was shocked when the Tires Plus service advisor indicated there was no way to realign? I am nearing the end of the 36,000 warranty period...and have never had to argue a defect issue with Nissan...any ideas as to what would compell the Dealer to take action and replace? How do I contact Consumer Affairs is there a website where I can log my complaint and concern? Replies to this message: corkscrew (Jul 30, 2009 4:21 am) shabbasings (Jul 30, 2009 2:20 pm)

Replying to: shabbasings (Jul 29, 2009 4:07 pm) There are two options here: 1 use shims 2 Replace the rear end   I would push for a new rear end if it was my car and see if Tires Plus would back you up.. In any case get it on record before the warranty runs out.Start out nice with the dealer because if you go in with big guns drawn, there is no where else to go.Also see if your state has a lemon law and keep us informed.   Corkscrew Replies to this message: shabbasings (Jul 30, 2009 2:20 pm)

Replying to: corkscrew (Jul 30, 2009 4:21 am) thanks. So far so good. I have an appointment with the Service department who is at least so far telling me they can "adjust" the alignment on the rear assembly. So we'll see where it goes from there. I will keep you posted.
