help alignment question
help alignment question
Ill try posting this here to see if i get any more help
So i have tried doing some searching but nothing really came up to help me with the issue. So i had an alignment done and tried to get more camber out of the front and the best i could get was -2.8 on the left and -2.5 on the right. And i have coilovers that have the adjustment on the top as well. Well i have more room to move the coilovers in to get a little more camber but the guy doing my alignment said that if i move them all the way in my tie rod arm will only be hanging on by about 2 threads. And that doesnt seem very safe to have it like that..god forbid it comes off on the race track. So i took it to the road course at gateway this weekend. And had some understeer issues so im pretty sure i need to find a way to get more camber to help fix my problem. O and rear camber is set to -2. Any ideas on extended tie rod ends or how i can get more negative camber in the front?
Someone also suggested the whiteline bumpsteer kit. Will that help me reach my camber goal? I have read that it will help with understear as well.

You need camber plates and camber bolts. I have both and I can go as high as -6 degree. I would recommend camber plates though.
About the understeer, are you sure you are not driving too hard? I do track days with about 3 degrees up front and I do not have an understeer issue. Also what is the rest of your setup and what tires are you using. I do not think the -2.8 upfront is your issue.

I just re read you post and see you did mention having camber plates. I think you need a new alignment guy. Someone will correct me if i am wrong, but if you add more negative camber that should increase your toe in, so when you go to adjust the toe you should be adjusting the toe arm inward which would give you more threads not less. I am just spit balling here though. I say go somewhere else for an alignment, maybe a competent speed shop.
