a buddy followed me to the new house... I was in the teener and he was in his car...
he said my camber on the rear wheels is ALL FUCT! you can tell too much when the car is still, but he said that when the car is rolling it's VERY off... the tires look like "// \\" going down the road (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) I changed the rear shocks(bilstien) and springs(100-120# Welt.) could that have F'd the camber though?! if so, ho to fix? I plan to have a shop do a 4 wheel alignment anyway(after I replace the tie rod ends) will that fix it? |

Ya need the shims that go under the trailing arm and an alignment shop, but since they go like / \ you can be a racer with negative camber like that. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/burnout.gif)

ok... so did the shorter springs cause this? or was this issue already there?

Yes, shorter springs will do that. The trailing arm pivots at an angle, so ride height affects camber and toe. Always realign after a ride height change.
