I need help uderstanding. First when I bought my car it was lowered, and had stock 17's on it. Well I traded and got some 18's. Well now since I got the 18s, it sounds like I have mud tires on, it sounds like the noise is coming from front passenger. That tire also looks like it is crooked. Like the top of the tire is in more than the bottom. My questions is why did it all of a sudden come up with these issues since I put on the bigger tires. So i don't undertsand all of these camber ans stuff to well. But could it be out of camber. And how could it be out of camber now, and not before. So I need help to know what I need to fix these, and the best bang for the buck parts.Also I have no idea how much lowered it is,or how it was lowered. Is there any way to tell? Thanks for your help

 

you need c/c plates to fix your alignment

 

Look at the springs themselves, what color are they?

How much of a drop do you think it has? In inches I mean?

Take it to a shop and see if they can align it without c/c plates.

 

I don't like when people do this. The stock c/c plates are held on by rivets, so when they put the c/c plates to a general are(never going to be ***** on like aftermarkets becuz they cannot hold them in place while riviting them...impossible) Anyways, they have to drill more hole and rivet them back on. This is fine, until you do something diff. Then what happens when you have all those holes in there and you need another alignment..like myself??? I just adjust my C/C plates!!!! Get some. They run about $100 used on ebay.

 

OK, so basically I need c/c plates. Does anyone know why it would do this with the 18s and not with the 17s?

buy aftermarket c/c plates and get it aligned asap, after i installed my springs i had the tire drone and angled wheels but the alignment fixed that. mine was lowered about a inch and a half and the alignment was almost dead on.

edit :: i have H&R springs with MM c/c plates.

 

OK, yeah my alignment is dead on right now, steering wheel is straight, and you can let go of the wheel, and it will only move with the road grooves. Which ones are the best for the buck? Or are they all about the same?
