Suspension I'm friggin angry
I'm friggin angry
A few of you know I had my car corner balanced about 10 days ago. I was annoyed by the fact that the spring perches, not height adjustments, were used to corner balance my car - the Megans posses height adjustment sleeves - spring rates remain the same left to right if the height adjustment is used.
After one track day - and I was fighting the car - and about 600 miles of driving on roads I am very familiar with I took the car to the alignment shop I've used forever.
Front camber was what I asked for, close to 2 degrees negative. Front toe is so toed in it's off the scale. Rear toe is exactly 1/16" in - what I asked for. Rear camber is just a hair over 3 degrees negative.
No wonder I'm fighting with this car, it won't turn-in any where. On the positive side, I can drive at 130mph with my hands off the steering wheel.
This is the third bad corner balancing job. Back to square one; I'm re-setting everything and just getting an alignment. I'm too trusting...my howdy doody face doesn't help.
