I tried tagging along someone else thread, who had the same exact problem as I did, but I didnt get any reply.
So here goes. I had my car aligned a month ago and after the alignment I didnt really drive the car, but I drove it 2 days last week i've noticed its pulling to the right. Today I decided to get it realigned and I wanted some different specs (-1.5 camber in the front and -1.2 camber in the rear with 0 toe all around. Just like the other guy in the other thread states: the tech comes out and said that he cant get those numbers without camber plates or camber bolts. I'm like "not me too"
I guess its an illinois thing.
Here is the alignment they end up giving me. Any feedback will be appreciated, even if its laughing and pointing the finger. (I'm lowered on swift sports mach with mr biltstein)

 

They didn't flip the front camber bolt....there is plenty of camber left.

And the rear toe isn't very good.

Time for a new shop.

All you IL, MO, IN guys need to get together and find a GOOD alignment shop.....hurts my head reading all these threads about clueless shops out there that can't do it right!

There's 3 or 4 shops around here in MD/VA and when someone says "I want max front camber and ZERO toe" that's exactly what they get.

yea that rear toe looks pretty aweful. should be right around zero maybe .01 off but thats it

 

Where in IL do you live? Where did you get the alignment?

 

I live in Gurnee and I drove 45 mins each way to get this alignment. Twice. Thats the most miles my car seen all year. I'm not gonna drop any names, but I just wasted another 100bucks.

 

An alignment sticky is needed badly I think.........

there's a bunch of stickys up there now that should be taken down or combined.

Take it to Thalmann's alignment in Northbrook. Little pricey (> $100), but the guy is very good at what he does. Does a lot of racecar alignments, he'll get it right. None of this Sears alignment special crap.

I'll give them a call. Thanks.

 

yerpp, you guys need to get together and look for good shops and he's right when we want something right on our cars in MD/VA they do it once and its right...

 

Shoot me a PM on which ones. Also, if you write it, we will sticky it. It can be added to that thread you started with links - Ill see if that can get a sticky.

We can do something like we did in the X forum. A sticky with links to all other threads that are of importance.

 

Agree

 

Please do! I was just looking for some information on different alignment settings that people run. Street/autox, roadracing, what's needed, etc.

 

You paid for that? Take it back and show them this. And get the rear toe zeroed.


Still what they did shouldn't make the car pull, check the air in the tires.

 

I send them a link to this thread and they are going to look into it. Thank U guys for ur input. U guys r great.

 

Get that rear toe corrected.

Setting rear alignment is tricky. You need to do both sides at the same time as changing the toe throws off the camber and vice versa. You can't just set the camber then do toe like on the front.

In the rear, as you reduce camber, the toe goes out and vice versa. I think that is how it went...
