cutlass1991 Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 I replaced the front and rear with the KYB's. THe car drives straight and rides fine, but it looks like the rear wheel on the drivers side is leaning away from the car. Not very much, but noticable. It is leaning away from the car, like the angle of this slash ((( \ ))) but obviously not to that extreme. Any ideas? and is this an adjustment I can make or a shop has to do. I had the car inspected after i did the shocks/struts and it passed fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCarloChick Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Looks like you have some camber issues... I'd take it into Dunn Tire and have them do an alignment... or atleast have them check the alignment for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 yeah, one of the 2 knuckle bolt holes in the rear struts is elongated to adjust camber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dohc v6 Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 all you have to do is make the nuts loose and push the wheel up so that it goes in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryk2003 Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 just take it and get it aligned properly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOHCRagtopguy Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 I would absolutely recommend a professional 4-wheel alignment. When you changed all the shocks/struts you changed geometric angles that will affect your tire wear. For maximum tire life and the best handling, the 4-wheel alignment is the way to go. Well worth the cost in the long run. Just my .02 Peace to all. (Except Islamofascists) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutlass1991 Posted May 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 well, I guess i will be taking it in for an alignment soon then. I wish they weren't so damn expensive though. Thanks for your help guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
