WELL let me start off by saying i ran over a nail, Took it to the local tire shop guy says to close to the side wall, so my tires already need to be replaced anyways, So i say ok all new tires and Alinement please, shop gets to work and then finally gets it on the Alinement rack 15 min later shop says i need to change a bolt that is factory to a fully adjustable bolt to get prefect toe Alinement.

tires i just bought rf falkin 235/45/r17

WTF your telling me that the mitsu put a car out on the market with factory bad aliment bolts so u cant get prefect toe aliment?
on the front and back


car drives straight

my car is compeltey stock nothing changed at all stock rims shocks 42222miles

i felt like the guy is just trying to screw me ova

please help me our has anyone ran into this problem

thank you evo lover 4 life

 

bad alignments from the factory are nothing new

 

Im assuming you are talking about the rear, cause the front has tie rods for adj. The rear bolt is actually an eccentric set up and why is it that you need a new bolt they saying? more info...

 

thank you, your absolutely correct it was the rear, the mechanic was talking about. Mechnic told me he couldn't get it prefect toe alinement due to the rear "eccentric set up" "on both rear tires" Just as u stated above!

Mechnic said front is prefect but the rear is alittle toe. So more weight is on the inside of the tire if im correct? which well wear faster? of course thats a big no no for my new tires

So i guessing i gonna go look for this part buy it and put it on myself, Then have them alignment but due i really need it our is the mechnic just trying to "bs" me. i dont understand why Mitsubishi would due this unless i have aftermarket parts then i would understand if i need the fullyadjusttable bolt. But i dont have any aftermarkert parts . that's why im asking if im getting srewed

why im asking this question

I will put this part in no problem if it makes my tires have alinment better , Well the mechnic tould me $375 I just about **** my self. Just to install some fully adjusttable bolt for the rear to get prefect toe alinement in the rear. Thats why im asking

If i do need the nessary part where can i find it and please thank you

hope this is better info

 

He's giving you a BS story. Tell us where this magic bolt is supposed to go please.

 

i work for tire kingdon in miami and that is bull**** i align my evo myself as i m certified in suspension and alignments the rear toe is an eccentric bolt that needs adjustment the rear of evos have toe and camber adjustment he needs to play with the camber eccentric bolt and toe eccentric bolt to get the toe exact in the middle i came across the same problem while aligning my car until i figured it out, he is an idiot and just wanted to make more money off you, hope this info helps

 

He wants to pull your pants down and aim for penetration, take your evo elsewhere!!!!

 

thanks for the input guys&gals.
