Default Alignment Settings

I am wondering what people are using for their alignment settings.

My RCF scrubs the inside tire pretty hard when turning tightly and slowly. My IS did the exact same thing. I’d like to get it adjusted as it seems to be putting a lot of stress on the ball joints and wheel bearings.

Just curious if anyone has addressed this and what your alignment settings were to fix it.

Thanks.

I don't think you are experiencing scrubbing. It is actually the tires skip/chatter when you go full lock in a slow turn. Happens to me all the time because the wheel lock-to-lock can turn at an extremely steep angle for smaller turning radius and the tires at slow speeds cannot deal with such a steep wheel lock. which is why they stutter. It is normal.
