Alignment Help!

Lazy · 04-05-2011, 10:25 PM

i just got my swift spring installed on my nismo, went to get an alignment check, my front left was about -1 and right was -1.8. and the rear was about identical about -3. i was just planning to get a rear camber kit, now the guy says i need a front camber arm to adjust the front right wheel camber. i dont get why my right was almost 1 degree different than my left can someone explain? i was hoping not to get front camber arms, but if i need to i will. thx.

Alignment.

Mine was -2.2 rear and -1.75 front with the swifts. No variation in the fronts like yours.

370Z JT · 04-06-2011, 12:45 AM

After alignment with no kit.

370Z JT · 04-06-2011, 12:46 AM

Did you let the springs settle in before getting it aligned?

370Z JT · 04-06-2011, 12:49 AM

Front is non adjustable from factory. Rear has some adjustability.

Lazy · 04-06-2011, 12:53 AM

370Z JT · 04-06-2011, 12:58 AM

Nah. West End only gave me the final numbers.

I would recomend you order the kits then drive the car for about 20 miles then let it sit for a couple days. Take it back to get alignment and if it is out of specs have them install the parts and realign it. If it in't just send the parts back , you may have a restocking fee but you will still be on the plus side, just be sure to discuss returning with the company you order from.
