For some reason when I had my shocks/struts put on I didn't look at the alignment printout till today. If I am reading it correctly it doesnt seem like they did a good job. I am I correct


I just wanna make sure I am reading it correctly before I take it back and make them do it again

 

post the printout

 

Its posted. Is it not showing up

 

it is showing; it's just very slow to load

front left camber and cross camber both look out of spec

 

Left front camber is off. Bring it back and let them adjust it by loosening the strut lower mount and moving the hub as much as possible twards the positive direction.
Cross camber will correct itself once both sides are back in spec.

There is only a small about of play, but usually enough to correct .5 degrees.

Does your car pull to the right slightly?

 

No, but I spent a lot of money on my tires and don't wanna ruin them cause of a bad alignment. I don't understand why the left it out of spec like that. I do blame myself for not looking at the printout though.....

 

Mine does very badly had two alignments already and i dont know what to do. HELP!!!!!!!!

 

You probably hav a bent control arm. Have you checked that

 

Hmmm....ok so my front left is -1.2 and my front right is -1.5, however my cross camber is fine with a .2? Is that weird?



Boondoxmax...just curious are you dropped?

 

it was fine until i put the springs and shocks on. i went to firestone and they were talking about the caste was really off and it couldnt be adjusted.

 

Nope not dropped

 

your SAI if you look is good so that means nuttin is bent. What u have to Get are Hub centric bolts to adjust the front camber you can get them on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-...=p4506.c0.m245

 

yeah looks like left side needs some camber adjustment. only adjustment is where the strut and knuckle come together. even with camber bolts it may or may not be enuff of adjustment to fix that. looks like they only adjusted the toe, cuz essentially thats the only thing that can be adjusted. im lucky when i did my own alignment it wasnt out of spec. only other thing is to get camber plates. which can be costly. you can tell the alignment tech or whoever to see if he can adjust the camber by loosening the bolts and pushing in or out on the knuckle/wheel to see if there is any change.

 

out of spec of Toe is more responsible for tire wear than out of spec camber...so at least your toe is good...however, your front left camber is still off by a decent amount...if you are not dropped, maybe your springs are sagging? or has the car ever been in an accident on that side? maybe some part is damaged and causing it?

i would take it back to them to have them re-do it if they will...if not, then consider adjustable upper control arms

 

there are no upper control arms on our cars. strut type front suspension with lower control arm with sway bar. not much adjustment other than toe.

 

i dont see sai measurements...possible bent knuckle, or control arm, or sagging spring. you could get camber bolts but its debatable over how well they hold up. the front camber isnt something they usually adjust if its out. if you look at the hunter procedures, it specifically says no front camber or caster adjustments.

camber and toe both cause tire wear issues equally. it is just a matter of how much they are off by.

 

No accidents and when I had my HP put on the shop aligned it perfect. I am thinking just a lazy tech who didn't do his job right.

 

I think I may have a problem with strut mounts. Today I noticed over same irregular bumps that I am getting some clunking noise, but Its only on very same bumps so this may be the reason the alignment wasn't set correctly........

 

got my alignment done yesterday, i'll post mine up shortly to see how they did mine

reason for it: dropped with illuminas+eibach

 

the SAI measurements is there its 13.5 on both sides with means that nothing is bent, if one side was different that means something is bent or loose which it is not
