Exclamation Lowering springs issue
I have been having weird feelings in steering almost like my car wants to veer right sometimes after installing lowering springs. I notice some outwards toe in my front right wheel but took it to an alignment shop and they say it was fine. I took a picture of the spring and how I installed it do you think this could be the issue or should I seek another alignment shop?

It is call tramelining. You do need to fix that spring to ensure it is seated correctly. Post you alignment sheet. Then we may can help.

Looks fine except for your camber in the rear. Camber arms and toe bolts are in your future for the rear. The front camber will work but FUCA's will help with tire wear. SPL stuff s what you need. The rest are cheap junk.
Rusty, Hotrodz and madwi like this.
