Hi guys, I installed some Ksports about a month ago and drove around with my car absolutely slammed to the ground for about 3 weeks. During that time I noticed my alignment was out a bit, but not too bad. I recently found time to adjust the height to something more sane, but my alignment feels really outta wack now. The steering wheel has to be held about a quarter turn to the right to go straight.

I need to get an alignment right away, but do I need to do all 4 wheels or just the fronts?

PS, the Ksports are awesome.

 

The sooner the better , and yes all 4 wheels.

 

^^ uh, our rears can't be adjusted

 

just the fronts...

 

Just fronts. Thrust alignment is what they called it when I got my alignment done. They align the fronts with the back, but no adjustments are made to the rear. $39.99 was all I paid for 2 wheel alignment

 

I have a question to guys, when lowering the car to much about 2.2 inch's do i need progress camber kit or no cause my alignment been done 3 times in about a month.

Damn, I went and paid for a 4 wheel, and looking at the datasheet they didnt adjust the rears at all.... I should have posted the question sooner.

My camber on my front right is -2.9 though, and they recommended a camber kit(bolts) for about $70 installed. I will likely do some more adjustments in the next month or so before getting another alignment done, and maybe go to a different place to see if they can get my front right a little less negative.

 

My bad, apologies, I should have been clearer, as others have mentioned the fronts are aligned to the rears only the fronts are actually adjusted.

 

no need for the $70 bolts...your ksports already has a camber kit on top...to adjust camber...if that isn't enough, they can adjust camer through the lower shock bolts...

 

Thats what those adjustments on the top hats are for... Lol, I totally forgot about them. But what do I need to know to adjust camber using those(like, how do I do it/can I do it myself?). Also, how do I go about adjusting camber through the lower bolts?


After reading 1,000's of posts on the issue, I knew we didn't need camber kits for the ksports, but as I am a super-n00b with this stuff I didn't exactly know why.

 

direct tire 39.99 for 2 wheel alignment. Stopped going to dealer after they charged me 79.99 and said all there alignments are same price

 

you can go to any shop even if your car is lowered with a kit? i used to hear that you have to go to a shop with a certain type of machine that aligns the fronts if you have lowered your car...
or maybe its if you have a kit on, itll scrape??
i dunno

 

just tell the alignment guys "i have a camber kit, it's under the hood"...and they will take care of it...
