Help my car is leaning after camber plates
Help my car is leaning after camber plates
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Hi gang, I need some advice. I spent some quality time with LAASER today. I went out and got him some new shoes (BF Gfroce Sports, 215’s ZR 17s anyone have good/bad experience with them?) I got a good deal on them. My Toyos were bald. So I decided it would be a good time to get an alignment and put in the Ireland Engineering fixed camber plates that have been colleting dust on my desk. I wanted to help stop the slight mushrooming I have. I will also but tower bar on as well.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]It was a disaster. First they could not get the BBS caps off, then 2 hours later the mechanic comes out and tell me that he got the plates in and wants to know how much positive camber there is suppose to be????? I told him that there should be negative camber and that he put the plates in the wrong sides He proceeded to tell me that they could go in either way. I asked him why I would want positive on a front wheel drive car. Anyway another 2 hours go by (I think I heard them say in the back that “why don’t you just swap the struts instead of re-installing them?”). They finally have my car ready. I get home which is about 14 miles away. I know that it takes a little time for the suspension to settle, but the gap between my driver’s front wheel and the wheel well is much larger than on the passenger side. I can easily get 5 fingers in on the drivers and on the passenger side I can barley get four. The car is LEANING! Has anyone else had this problem? I am reluctant to go back there again. What do you think they did wrong?[/SIZE][/FONT]
