^Huh? Toe does affect the way the vehicle handles....
This article came from AA1 auto repair and discusses alignment characteristics and why a vehicle may be pulling to the right or left.... " The underlying cause may be rear toe out of specifications, a bent rear axle, chassis misalignment or a stackup of assembly tolerances in the chassis causing rear axle misalignment. Measure and compare the wheelbase on both sides, check for the presence of a thrust angle, and/or measure individual rear toe. Correct by realigning the rear axle or rear toe, or by performing a thrust angle alignment" If one rear wheel has some "toe in", and the other rear wheel is has some slight "toe out", the car is going to be all over the place. I'm thinking that is probably whats wrong with the OP's alignment. Plus since he said he installed a camber kit, I'm assuming the alignment techs were able to get the camber back to specs, however he didn't say anything about new toe bolts. Or they could have gotten the correct toe but the camber is way out of specs.... We really need to see the his alignment sheet to see whats going on Last edited by MJB; 03-30-2012 at 12:22 AM. |

You might want to also just have them check your steering linkage just to make sure when the steering wheel points to 'zero', the front wheels are actually pointing to zero. Something I found out one day that's not encompassed in most alignment checks.
