So i had a lil accident last winter, nothing major at all, just went around a corner that was slippery and my drivers side wheel bumped the curb pretty hard. My tires are cupping on the outside. So i put my car on the alignment machine at my work and toe was a little off and we fixed that. But the caster/camber was really off on one side and from what i understand you cant adjust it on these cars? So do i need to put some new cc plates in? Adjustable ones? Im really lost here, advice would be very helpful. Thanks!

you should be able to adjust it some, but if you want full adjustment or if you want to drop your car more than 1.5 in you should get cc plates. but it sounds like you might have bent up some suspension components or something because an alignment should fix that

I did get an alignment but the machine said something like specs not avialable for caster/camber.

well its an 04, so i would take it into the dealership to see what they think about it, it shouldnt cost you anything for them to take a look at it and it will give you a good idea of what you really need to buy instead of spending 150 bucks on cc plates you might not need

andrewclark

what do CC plates do? what if do get more that 1.5drop and dont get the plates?

Im betting your gonna want em. Not only do they replace a poor stock unit, but they are adjustable for caster/camber.

tcuallstar

they are absolutely nessecary because if you dont get them you cant adjust your tire alignment and your front tires will look like this

this will cause uneven tire wear and bad handling
