Explanation: You need to take your car to a more performance-oriented alignment shop.
Better yet, just do your own alignment. There's nothing to adjust in the rear, and only two simple adjustments to make in the front. Invest in a cheap construction level to check camber. Roughly 1 degree of camber for each 1/4" the top of the wheel is in more than the bottom of the wheel... you can do some trig if you want to be more accurate, but what's most important is that you're even from left-to-right. Within 1/4 degree is plenty close enough. Check toe with a tape measure. Getting zero toe is easy, measure from tread-groove to tread-groove on the front side of the tire and the back side of the tire. If the measurement is the same, you're at zero. Ideally, you'll want maybe 1/16-1/8" of toe-in. All you need is a level driveway or garage, some common hand tools, and a little patience. Oh, and if you have a proper coilover kit, you shouldn't need camber bolts. The lower hub mounting bolt hole should be slotted for adjustment. |
