Front camber problem after Swift install

SPOHN

The alignment needs to be redone. They could of done a better job on toe especially.

Has far as lowering you car and thinking everything is going to be fine (such as the fronts) is far and few IMO. There's so much at play. You never really know how the factory alignment came and if it was truly right. Or if it got out of wack before you installed springs. And just because your car may of been correct before hand doesn't mean after lowering you will be guarrented to get buy. Reguardless of all the testimonies here. I feel if your going to lower your car by any means buy a full alignment kit to protect you investment.

I spoke to them about the work performed and they were pretty insulted that I said the alignment may not have been done correctly. They said they would look at it next week and see what happens. If not, does anyone know a good alignment place around NH or MA? By the way the car only has about 1900 miles on it so I doubt it was too out of wack with the stock setup.

lol... typical loser/whiner reaction. a winner will (obviously not make such mistake in the first place), but if there is a problem, will fix right away. the work is incomplete.

in the mean time, place your car on a predetermined flat surface. put a bubble level on your driveway or parking lot as guage.

then put a perfect right angle box next to your front wheels and compare left and right side camber looking at the car from the front. that will at least tell you if they bent anything or not. -0.9 and -2.2 is a huge visible difference.

also search online for string method alignments.... it's a ghetto way to check your toe angles.

Do you thing I should just park the car the next few days? I was going to take it on a small trip this weekend but I don't want to chew threw the tires. I'm not sure how quickly this setup will destroy my tires?

your toe-in angles are pretty severe on the front. 0.10 and 0.11 is at the limit. it can wear your tires if driven a long distance... but then again your springs can settle in a little bit so i would measure your ride height and keep track of it the next few days. it's better to drive the car now and get the realignment next week.

if the car lowers by a few mm's, your toe-in will lessen on the front. if you carry a passenger, even better.

Thanks for your help guys. I am interested to see what happens next week when they try this for round 2.
