Did the alignment today due to lowering spring. No time to do alignment just right after install of spring. The car was OK before alignment, no pulling anywhere.

Now after alignment my car pulls to the left. WTF. I'm in a hurry and nobody explain it to me.

The Before specs on the second picture...the caster is already 3.7 to the left and the toe is whack but no pulls. After alignment the toe was fixed and the caster is still the same but now it pulls to the left. I just told them to max the camber but if it is pulling why not tell me. I'm brining it back to them this friday(Firestone)

Any reason why my caster is 3.7, is it adjustable? is it the lowering spring. What do I need to do? RCA?

Thank you.

I'm a noob when it comes to this stuff but you might want to cross post in the Tire/Wheel/Suspension section to get a quicker response since that would get more traffic than good old NTEC.

 

I will^^^ Can I say GRRRRRRRR... I asked the technician and she told me there should be a frame problem. I don't have any accident at all. My drop is only 1.2 front and 0.8 rear.

 

Caster is non-adjustable without camber/caster plates. It doesn't really affect straight driving performance. It changes the dynamic camber as you move through a turn and will change the steering feel (more caster = heavier feeling steering like a BMW or Infiniti).

The problem you've likely got is that you didn't turn the car on to power the rack before setting the toe. On my Evo, it would drift to one side once the car was turned on. We therefore always turned the car on before setting the toe up front.

I'm also worried about the diff in camber up front. Makes me think that something isn't bolted down quite right, but since you've always had ~0.5 off maybe it's just your car? A good set of camber/caster plates would help out. I think that Vorshlag has them but they aren't cheap.

See the "gotchas" I listed in this post: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...fications.html

ETA: I personally think you have too much camber in the rear. I preferred 1/2 of the front camber to allow more rotation, but that's a personal thing.

 

i'm really expecting you. t.y that kit 200plus dollars. maybe will try to make the camber less negative and see.

 

I'd be happy to double check the alignment for you. Give me a call if you'd like to bring it by and we can schedule a time.

I will give them a try one more time. Pm me the cost.

 

You don't need a fancy alignment kit of any sort, just take it somewhere with experience aligning Evos such as Cobb or PTP.

 

What do your tires look like?

 

Ya if they messed up the rotation they might have put them with some wear on the inside causing a pull.

 

new tires, no wear yet.

 

what is your alignment specs after your eibach? and any evo x with spring only.

 

Rotate tires front to rear and test again. Been there done that. odd tire wear causes this.

If that doesn't fix it then check alignment someplace different. They usually check for free. Then decide if you need it adjusted.

 

They must did not right.

Where did you go for alignment? Base on my experience it is just up to who does it for you. If you done at NTB or firestone, you should try do it again at other location for free.

 

What if the right camber bolt is inverted and the left is not from the factory?
