Thread: What did you do to your car today? Vol 2.0

Bingo. Good explanation. I was in a rush to get to pepboys before they close and grab my keys from them so I didn't get a chance to talk to the tech this time.

Oh here's the after

Camber is adjustable in the rear, stock.

But we have ways...

The way I remember caster is the fishing rod visual. Always got caster and camber confused until I made that mental note.

You can do a lot with a big hammer

4x4 status lol

Of course you take a bit more time when you do your on alignment,

A bit more wear in the rear I can deal with the camber for the time bein.

Btw do you have a spec **** on what it should be within

Remember the rears are stock lol

Now the fronts where it gets all funky

Technically the cars still down there I just have the keys. I'll probably drop the keys off in the am.. Give em a call and let them know I want the rear camber fixed.

Hell I dropped it off at 6am.. Appointment was set at 8 and I let them know it'll be there all day.. They had plenty of time.

the left front caber is way out too, thats fully adjustable now. at least thats how i see it with the new mounts. i mean why have em if you cant adjust the caster and camber lol

Mounts were set by me at the stock position when I put them on. I didn't look at them afterward to see if they were adjusted any. Which I doubt they were and like you mentioned I'm sure the tech would of looked at them like wtf is this and might not have a damn clue.. This is after all pepboys and not some performance shop lol. All thought we just shoot for all green when it comes to alignment for our cars.


Oh and mounts were for more then just the adjustment, If you ever get curious.. Go see how most guys with coilover strut mounts are setup, it's very basic and there's plenty of room for improvement.

you need to tell them you have such parts, like camber bolts and adjustable strut mounts up top, or they will never look.

Yup I know. I would of preferred to have waited to have it done on my off days or something but of course this weeks kind of hectic with xmas and such and works hectic as hell and I didn't have a chance to talk to them other then a quick 30 sec conversation to let them know I'll get it at the end of the day. I would think camber bolts are pretty noticeable but then again I can't assume that.

This is why my friends at their shop will be doing my alignment after I get my coils on.

Ehh i can have it fixed at work.. I just wasn't going to drive 45 mins and over 2 bridges with the alignment all janky like it was. Pepboys is maybe 8 mins down the road. It's good enough for now. I'll have it fixed how it should be soon enough.

Does it still drain away with nothing hooked up to the battery?

If it did, then I'd suspect a dead cell maybe.
