issues after swift install
 
So I just got done installing my swifts springs, SPC camber arms, and H&R wheel spacers. When i went for a test drive i felt like my rear was trying to fight me? Did I do something wrong, or does this sound like I need alignment (which i was going to get one in the first place)??? By the time I got done all the alignment shops were closed so now I have to wait until Monday. I'm also thinking of getting it towed to the alignment place because I really don't like the way it was driving.

Has anyone experienced this before? Any inputs would be greatly appreciated.

You have to get an alignment your toe and camber in the rear is the problem.:hello:

Thanks man I'm really freaking out right now... Like i said in my first post, I only installed camber arms. I do have SPC toe bolts I just didn't install them because I didn't think i was going to need them. So if the rear stock toe bolts can adjust with the SPC camber arms I will be fine. What are your thoughts? Do you know if the stock toe bolts will adjust?

If you have the toe bolts put them in is no big deal to do it,sh!t they give you the template.:icon17:

Don't forget to "rep" those that help you.

They can but why try to adjust it ,it has limited adjustment.

I do my own alignments and I installed the bolts to make sure I could get my toe where I needed it,plus when you put the car back to stock to sell/trade in just leave the bolts in there and you can adjust it to stock specs,it a win win.:tup:

got the rep ,rep back to you:hello:

Every time you mess with suspension, you'll need to get an alignment

Yeah I agree with you. I was gonna get one in the first place. But many guys on here that do the same install drive the car a few days before getting the alignment. I don't even feel safe doing this because my rear just feels weird. Like its dancing or something. Its hard to explain.

It kind of sucks because I don't feel
Safe driving it, but it sucks now because I want
To get it towed to the alignment shop and guess what? It's now lowered and most tow truck companies give you issues for towing lowered cars. Ugh so frustrating.
