    Alignment after each tire roation ???

    Dear All
    Camry 97 with 95K on
    At 87K I put on new Yokohama tires.
    On 92 K dealer advices replace front upper struts and alignment was done.
    Now I rotated tires first time after they were installed. I got vibration on
    the steering wheel on speed over 60 m/h and some other things which allows
    me to think alignment off on the front.
    Is it common thing? Now after each rotation I should go to station to make
    alignment


    Thanks in advance

    Repositioning wheels/tires on the car does not affect alignment
    settings. Tire carcasses do take a "set" on the front of an FWD car
    because of the driving and braking stresses that the rears are barely
    subjected to by comparison.

    Also, if the rear tires were initially spin balanced on the car, any
    imbalance in the drums/rotors will have be factored is which ... when
    moved to the front position will make that balance inappropriate.

    Personally... with FWD, I don't do tire rotations any more. The
    rears scarcely wear at all while the fronts you can watch
    disintegrate month by month. I wear down the fronts to about 4/32nds
    and then rotate them to the back, same side. When the "new" fronts
    are worn down to 4/32nds, I get a new set of four.

    I have noted a couple of times that when repositioning "experienced"
    rear tires to the drive axle that a steering shake (very minor)
    appears for a couple thousand miles.

    I am not as knowledgeable as many here but I think alignment effects pull to
    one side and steering while vibration is more a balance problem.

    May require balancing but not alignment after rotation.

    Thanks all for input and sharing your opinion
    The main thing why I thinking about alignment, vibration increases, when on
    speed over 60 turn the steering wheel. Like changing line on the highway
    for instance.
    I personally don't think improper balance could do that. Am I wrong ?

    I paying too much attention to this because the only service place with more
    or less reliable service in my area in Toyota dealership. Where alignment
    costs almost $80. Would not like just waste my money. And, of course, get
    better understanding my car.
    Thanks in advance
