Get geometry set-up - factory tolerances are a 'little' large

Happened on the front of my MY01.

Get geometry set up by someone like TSL - not the dealer!

Like this?

That was one of the rears on my MY99 Scooby.

Geometry is indeed to blame. I had the worse geo' setup TSL had ever seen pre-alignment.

Who is responsible if a new WRX is supplied with poor geometry leading to bald tyres at 4,500 miles? The dealer or Subaru ( or the careful driver who got 55,000 miles out of a previous new car?)
