Default Comments and question!!

I've messed with this for about 1 month now and i dont know what to do any more. My paasenger side tire will not toe in any further. I have steeda x2 ball joints and steeda bump steer kit and it wont allow me to toe in the right tire any more. I toed out the left side to even it out but my tires are wearing out un evenly. I tried to get an alignment at firestone but they couldnt align it. I just finished installing tokico struts and shocks and steeda sport spring last week. I dont know what else i can do.when i put the bump steer kit in I replaced the inner tie rods. I bought them new from ebay. My only thought is my inner tie rods are to long and not the correct length. I plan on going to an auto store today to buy a inner tie rod and compare it to the ones i have on my stang. any suggestions would help. I dont know what to do other than go to a local mechanic shop. and i post some pics of my car. Thanks!

why couldn't they align it? if their alignment machine wouldn't give them accurate readings, you have loose parts. if they just couldn't get it right, you have wrong parts.

I just picked up an inner tie rod from an auto store and they look smaller than the ones i have on. Im going to compare them to the ones on the car. thanks.

if those are the ones you screw on cut it down a lil put a bolt on it first the tkae the bolt off so it will give your threads back
and firestone and all those other big name places suck at lining up lowered cars!!! find a real suspension shop in your area
like one the drag racers use and they will probably be able to line it up!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, I would have firestone change my air filter much less align my car. Those shops suck at aligning cars. I had mine done at a shop here in Vegas that does everything the old school way and my alignment is dead on, with a 1.5" lower ride in the front from stock.
