yes

 

Got the car aligned at akuma motorsports -2 in the front, -1.5 in the rear almost 0 toe all around the rear was giving them so trouble its like 1/16 of an inch out or something tiny. Im fine with that, the car feels better. The tech said the he couldent much with the eccentric and dialed it in with the plates. One camber plates way over now and looks kind of stupid but whatever. Overall im pleased with this alignment so far

 

if he had to shove one of the front camber plates way different from one side as compared to the other side, there is something bent or damaged or installed wrong. Was the car in a wreck with damage to the corner that is way off?

Second thing is ...based on your other thread on the rear suspension where it was clear from the pics that the eccentric was installed improperly...has the front been inspected for damage or improper install ?

Did you ask Akuma to thoroughly inspect the front before doing the alignment? I would have ...or done the inspection myself.

 

Car hit a snow pile at 10mph there from a previous owner, cosmetic damage fender, bumper and hood were replaced, i dont think that could have done major damage. I did cross measurements in the engine bay, wheelbase, everythings even. What could possibly be installed wrong in the front? Can something benover torqued not freeing that camber? When me and my friend out the eccentric back in i believe we did it the same on both sides and i held up the hub up while he tightened it to make LESS camber. akuma said my ride height was off on i believe the front right and back left we brougt it up to match the others, this was done after looking at the bolts and then continuing the aligment. I can lift my hands from the wheel while boosting on the highway going 80-whatever speed and giggle even with my old springs so i guess my caster cant be whacked that bad my front right rubs the inside fender liner though and the left does not

 

Glad you got it sorted out, as for the plates up top, I wouldn't worry much. That's why they are there. If it was out of the marks then yes, you would need to go and get the frame measured on a chassis alignment machine at a body shop.

 

Anyone else know a reason why the stock bolts wouldent dial even?? Is it possible because we did not torque the coilovers up top or bottom so its not within that spec?

 

How far off were they? Were your plates set identical at the top? Also since you have adjustable coilovers, were the ride heights also identical?

 

What do you mean by out of the marks? Right now the eccentrics are supposedly .8 degrees off left to right supposedly the shop said they are even. Can this be improper coilover installation and failure to torque down The bolts and what not? I had the car run through at a shop once they said it was square.

 

The eccentrics according to my old alignment are off by .8 degrees. I believe the coilovers were originally set the same up top, the ride height according to the shop was off they set it correct AFTER they decided they were going to dial the rest using the plates because the bolts where uneven

 

Basically what needs to be im order for these eccentrics to work correctly?

 

I can draw 3 conclusions from that:

1) One bolt was on the -2 setting and the other on the -1
2) One of your ecentric bolts is damaged
3) Your car isnt straight and its effing up your alignment

 

You are so over complicating this its ridiculous. The bolt has two settings which are roughly -1 degree camber and -2 camber. Two settings thats it. The arrow either faces out out in. Then you need to torque the nut to 125 ft/lb. That's it

 

I completly understand that but the bolts were not torqued can that cause a difference?

 

If they were not torqued properly after prolonged driving they could potentially loosen up and become damaged. Realistically though I dont think that would happen unless they were really loose and even then I dont see that as very likely.
