Default RE: lowered - camber off

If you lower your car, you need to get a front end alignment done. My camber was off or course, but more importantly my toe was out of wack on the drivers side.

Does lowering the rear only affect the alignment? I know about the rear shifting and pinion angle, just wondering about tow, camber, caster.

It was starting to feel like I was the only one with any sense. [8D]

Nope, your front wont be effected.


When I installed my prokit last Thursday the alignment was still within specs.
I used 1 camber bolt on the right side to even it up some to avoid pulling.
I wanted mine on the high side of the neg range.






This was after the alignment. I obviously had to adjust the toe since I was installing a Steeda Bump steer kit, but the left side camber is where it was with no adjustment. Actually it was about -1.3 but flipped back and forth from -1.3 to -1.4 on the machine. the right side sat at about -1.0, put the camber bolt and set it to -1.4 on the right side.
