Rear alignment uneven?

na-STi · 06-01-2007, 11:37 AM

The last time I got my alignment i found out my camber in the rear was uneven. The rear left is -1.5 and the rear right is -1.7. Since the rear is not adjustable, my alignment guy could not change it. How did this happen? He said that I could get lateral links to make it adjustable but it is probably not worth it. Anyone else have this problem?

.2 cross camber is not that bad. I wouldn't even worry about trying to reach 0 cross camber, unless it was a track dedicated car.

Lateral links would be great, but would be overkill for most. If you really want to match them, get some camber bolts. But again, I wouldn't worry about .2* difference.

What causes it to be uneven? Is more stress being put on one side or does it come from the factory like that?

The rear camber is somewhat adjustable. My shop was able to change mine from -2.0 to -1.5. This was without camber bolts - just using the slop in the system.

^^ really?? thats very impressive...not really sure how he/she did that. There shouldn't be that much play in the rear suspension
