Alignment problem, help
Alignment problem, help
I have followed all of the alignment threads and went to get mine done today. They were only able to get -1.3 of negative camber on the driver's side but -2.2 on the passenger side. The rears were about -0.6 with zero toe all around.
I don't know why they couldn't get more out of the driver side (they did turn the eccentric bolt). How much will having the assymmetric alignment affect the balance of the car? I hate to give up that beautiful amount on the passenger side by matching it to the driver side at -1.3. Right now, they left it with the -2.2 on the passenger side that and I was thinking of trying it at an auto-x this weekend. Am I making a mistake?
FWIW, the stock alignment on my car was -0.3 on the driver side and -1.0 on the passenger side so it was already very unbalanced to start with. Also, the above numbers were measured with me in the drivers seat. When I wasn't in the car, the numbers were closer (-1.4 and -2.0). Help.

I don't know what to tell you. I'm no expert on alignments, but I do find it disappointing that
gave us stock class autocrossers that nice spec to work with, but no obvious way to make the most of it. I find the fact that you had -2.2 on one side promising though; maybe if we can figure out why it's that way on yours, we can apply it to the rest of our cars (and the other side of yours
)
