not meet specs? Can my alignment go bad by not rotating my tires?
2008 toyota matrix, 30,000 miles till first rotation then tires started feathering on front and now the car shakes/ vibrates at certain speeds.
i brought the car to one shop and they said the rear driver side was way out of specs on alignment and needed shims to do the alignment. so i brought the car to toyota dealership and the said the rear tire were a little out of alignment but wouldnt recommending correcting the rear, but they did align the front.
toyota said by not rotating my tires can cause the alignment to go bad
they said something about the shims being bad for one reason or another(can't remember exaclty)
 
Go back to the first shop and have a 4 wheel alignment performed.
Also you should rotate your tires every 6000 miles. The dealer
didn't address you issues. brake and caliper alignment are maintained.
The toyota Dealership Advisor fed you a pile of bull....
 
rotating tires does not affect alignment also you could have a bad tire(slipped belt) that causes vibration. ---I dont rotate my tires . when the front ones wear out i replace them ,same with the rear. also, you can only believe about 50% of what a dealer tells you.
