Hi...

I just purchased two new Pirelli P6 tires for my 2004 Volvo C70 and had the alignment redone and had all four tires re-balanced.

When I picked up the car, the technician mad a comment about the car having all wheel drive and I corrected him that it had front wheel drive. He said, "no, the V70 has all wheel drive".... ??? This was after they had spent half a day working on it. Geeesh!

Now, looking at the Alignment report, I notice that the page title is "Volvo: S70/V70: 2001-07: Front Wheel Drive: except Sport Suspension, Bi Fuel" The tech also said the rear camber is out of spec "because it's not adjustable but it's the same left to right so it's OK"

Here's the alignment report:

The question is... did they align and adjust camber against the wrong specifications (V70 vs. C70)? If so, is that a problem? Do I need to take the car back in?

Also, I notice on the left rear, there is a TON of balance weight. Doesn't the tire have a mark where the valve stem is supposed to be.... Did they get the tire on the rim wrong?

here's a pic of the mounted tire

Thanks for your advice. I'd like to be armed with some facts before I approach them.

 

Take it back anyway. The rear toe shouldn't be that different from side to side, and neither is that close to center anyway.

I'd have to look up the specs to see if the C70 specs are the same as the V70.

As for the rim, I doubt moving the tire will make that much of a difference, but it might
