Just realigned my car, but left and right is different - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hi Guys,

I just realigned my car , but here is another issue.. left and right is different.

with my camber settings these are the max, but is it going to be an issue if right and left is different like this?

If so, what issue? (will it hurt any of my car parts?)
If tire wear is the only problem, i will just stick with it..

Im just a daily driver with sprited driving once in a while. (no racing , autox)

This isn't off a massive amount, but you should try to get 0 cross-camber, which means they are the same on both sides. Typically during alignment you should first adjust camber and verify, and then adjust for toe. In the rear you sometimes have to adjust both several times to get them to match. You should always align rear and then front.

If you go to a good alignment shop they should just do this... if they aren't, find a better shop.

Do you think driving in these settings would be just fine, or you recommend to realign?

It's probably fine for a daily, but at the same time I'm a very particular person so I would get it re-aligned. Really up to you. It's a pain to find a decent alignment shop, but once you should make sure to let everyone know about it.

Holy shit Batman!
You got the "toe in, toe out" scam.

They didn't even touch the rear camber.
Name the shop so we can avoid that like a shit salad.

Nothing pissess me off more than lazy ass alignment ***s that can't even get it within 3 points. The whole point with a computerized alignment is to be pretty much nuts dead center of what ever angle it needs to be.

Please tell me you only paid for a two wheel alignment?
If they told you it was a 4 wheel alignment, they got you for a chump.

As for daily driving, it's not going to do nothing. It would be fine.
But I would never go back to that shop.

Yep, I call these places "toe and go". Unfortunately it's the vast majority of alignment shops anywhere in the US. In 3 years I've only found 4 places in the entirety of the 7th largest metro in the country that can do a proper alignment.

For most people/cars, it basically doesn't matter so it's whatever, but if you care about getting things dead nuts you should find a better shop.

Never go back to that place again. I would hurry up and get an alignment at a more reputable place again, just in case they may have messed up or forgotten to torque down a bolt

Do you have adjustable LCAs for camber adjustments? Maybe that's why they did a toe and go on you.

maslin · 08-13-2019, 10:39 AM

It's not terrible, just lazy. Will probably drift right a bit, especially in the right lane.

No reason not to get cross camber 0, or very close to it. Rear toe was "it's green, don't touch it", also lazy.

And no caster sweep... lazy.

Lazy. Lazy. Lazy.

Yeah, lazy. Wont affect wear with values that small and normal rotations though. Just don't go back to that place.
