I've had a bit of a camber problem that ended up costing me to get new tires this summer. I got it aligned, but Firestone couldn't get it completed?
The symptoms: When I take off, the wheel pulls hard to the left. Occasionally, while cruising, i will find that I have to compensate to the right pretty hard to keep the car straight. Other times, it will pull to the right. And every so often after that, it will pull really hard to the right. Now my car is lowered on KYB GR-2s and GroundControl coilovers. It is at its lowest setting. Some of you might think that thats the issue; my cars too low and I should raise it up a bit. But I've tried that and nothing seems to change. I've talked to Mynzeyes about this and his celica was lowered with the same setup and just as low as mine is and he's had no problems after getting it aligned.. Could there be something else thats wrong besides just an alignment? -------------------- ![]() |

yota, ive been basically having the same problem since i swaped. im still trying to figure it out but have some ideas.
ive taken my car to a few places that said they couldnt do my alignment. the reason is because their machine cant fit onto our aftermarket wheels correctly because our 17x7 wheels are pushed in too far and their machine ends up hitting on the fenders. try finding another alignment shop that deals with aftermarket rims. i know my motor mounts are shot. the motor shakes a lot when i slowly let the clutch out. ive learned that this can cause steering problems. have you tie rod ends checked, or just replace them. if those have too much play in them, then youll pass the alignment, but still have steering issues. bad shocks or springs can also cause issues like this. im getting my mounts and tie rods replaced soon and getting the car realigned. keep me updated if u figure this issue out before i do -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
