Got A All Wheel Alignment

[slowandlow]

got a all wheel alignment after installing the air and boy the car handles better than it ever did. the call is newtral to haveing some overstear at limit. i did a high speed advoidance and it was a hoot.

nice.. about time you got the alignment with the air ride. Good that it worked out with the shop. Glad they knew how to align a car with air ride. I mean all they really adjusted was just toe. they didn't need to touch camber and caster isn't adjustable on our cars.

actuley i went to harlo raceing tire and the guy used a pry bar to get the toe fixed in the rear. the front was toed out 2degree on each wheel. the rear has a bit of negitive camber but said it was with in specks and the front was okwith camber unlike what bele tire said it was leaned out 2 in. my summer tores are dead. i wore the sholders down th the steal belts. and when i drove 10-15 minuntes the sholders would get warm to the touch.


my olny thing is my car makes a good snow plow. i have to clean the lower bumper where my fogs are out whenever i drive it in the snow.

mine was the same. After installation, I waited after my carshow road trip to get my alignment to let the air ride break in. And after 1000 miles the tires were killed from the TOE (on my brand new 20" tires, oh well 700 bucks for 2 more new ones, then got the alignment). My was 2.3 off in toe in the front also. Toe in the rear wasn't bad. My front camber is dead on 0 degrees at 50-55psi on my gauge. And rear I left it at 2. ish negative camber. Cuz I wanted it like that.

But they shouldn't have to use a pry bar to fix toe in the rear, they should of just undid the bolts and adjusted it like that. Sounds like they were lazy.

my car was hit twice in the rear.he said he needed a little encourgment to get it to slide. had to do the same thing to get the struts over the thing the mount to on the wheel. the wierd thing when i lowered the alero with cutting the springs the aligment dident change and it was just as low

ya that change with the cut springs is just the spring height. But the air ride struts, they moved the lower mounting brackets up making the overall strut shorten/shorter. Thats why the toe changed.

I dun like how it looks like the back tires are set farther in, its just weird looking

[slowandlow]

actuley that is befor alignment. and i still cant get rid of the noise in the rear. it is a clunking noise when going over big bumps. but it is not like i tryed some cheap stuff and it botomed out everytime i hit a bump and this is not that.

weird lookin? Its called negative camber buddy! lol

pic of my buddy civic on bags he has tons more camber hehehehehee The more negative camber you have, the more you lay the car out. that and to clear rubbing issues with the car.

slowandlow, car looks amazing man
