hrtatack1 Posted January 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 never measured ride height didnt need an alignment...its pin straight no extra parts needed. i had eibach progressive rates on my 01..they were great also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say "pin straight", I assume you mean it doesn't pull? The only angle that causes pull is caster. The other two angles may be off, and will affect tire wear if so. Note: I did over 4,000 alignments during my 5 years as an auto technician. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish we could have snow right now so I could quit thinking about driving my car when its 36 to 50 F. outside, it's killing me, either snow or stay above 50 CW's avatar says 'An American Legend' does that make him Davy Crockett Boy?

The car will then have a tendency to drive the driver instead of the driver driving the car when bumpsteer is not addressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alloy Dave Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 alloy i checked it on my alignment machine the specs were close enough to not even mess w/a caster camber kit Great to hear hrt....nice vehicle. Do you know the "stock" method of adjusting caster and camber on these cars? Are they adjustable from the factory? If so, then those of you can increase caster for a bit more high speed stability...at the expense of a more difficult to turn steering wheel.

The car will then have a tendency to drive the driver instead of the driver driving the car when bumpsteer is not addressed. Yes, bumpsteer is caused by severe toe-in changes when the wheels move up and down. Many trucks in the old days (1980s and earlier) had this issue, but the manufacturers have gotten a lot smarter about this. This is something to check for whenever you modify front suspension geometry. AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
