#18524, "Just did camber kit (front) and......"


          

Now my steering wheel is crooked. ???? WTF? What do I need to do to get it straight again? When I am rolling down the street my steering wheel is pointed slightly to the right when I am going straight. Also, I don't even know if I put the kit on right. It said to "make sure that the large radius is pointed at the ball joint" I couldn't tell what the large radius was. Can somebody maybe show me a pic of how its supposed to go?

Yeah, when I put my front camber kit on I discovered it threw my toe out of whack. That's probably what it did on yours, except one wheel got more toe than the other.

The best bet would be taking it to an alignment shop. Insist they align the steering wheel when adjusting the toe. It's real sensitive to adjust and most likely they won't get it right in the first time... if it's off even just a little bit, take it to them again.

Thanks man, you were right. I figured it was toe related but didn't think I threw it off that much. Oh well, got it aligned today and all is well. Thanks again.

Yeah after I lowered my car and put the camber kits on my toe was so far out of spec that the screen @ the alignment shop @ sears showed my tires as completely horizontal from the car. emoji
