I'm a little surprised you can visibly see the difference in camber with your wheel specs, it's about a 1/4" difference side to side at the top of the tire. Quote:

Make sure the car is on a really flat surface, both left to right and front to back. Quote:

How much do you know about the previous history of the car? Any accident repairs at all? If the subframe is shifted, it could cause more poke on one side even without the camber difference. He's saying that the camber on a typical car from a ~1" drop doesn't really require any correction. If you want to keep the balance closer to stock, or want closer cross camber, then you'll need LCA's to correct it.

I am reasonably certain that something on your suspension or your subframe is bent. Not shifted, bent. A shift in the subframe would show up in both wheels. If we were to spend some quality time discussing the topic in general, you would benefit greatly from understanding the whole thing. Your improved understanding and correct use of terminology would then enable you to figure out with reasonable certainty if, and how the suspension was damaged.

I'd be willing to bet that the problem side is actually the side with -0.9*, not the side with -2.5. With a 1" drop I'm at -2.5*R and -2.6*L (with me in the driver's seat). Even with 1/4" less drop, it should be closer to -2.5* than 0.9*.

Took the car to the only good alignment man i know in lowermainland here. Dialed in the rear to -1.7 and -2.0. Guys a wizard. Found some wiggle room within the bolts.

That's an understatement, if he can consistently find 0.8/0.5 degrees of camber adjustment off of 'wiggle room' on an 86 he'd be a rich man.
People would legit fly him out across the continent to have him align the car if that's the case. Glad to hear your car is all sorted now, wish we could know how it was off so badly but some mysteries remain unsolved. |

I think the fountain tire that first did it must have made some mistakes. The guy today who i wanted to bring it to saturday. His initial reading i think was 2.2 and 1.4. Somewhere round there. Not as off as the fountain tire job at 2.6 and .9. So no lcas. Yay. And he says i have more than enough room for degree or two in the fromt. Anyone familiar with grinding the front spring perches down? as i noticed they are the closest thing to the tire, not the spring itself. Have people done that? Any feedback?

Don't, there's a lip on the edge to keep the spring seated properly. If you want more clearance there buy coilovers.

Nah inwas just wondering. I understand a spring seat. Haha. Just theres room there to be grinded out. Btw what is the whole 16mm vs 14mm thing. 16mm whitelines allow for 1.5 degree like they advertise. Or do you need 14mm to get that much?! 14mm bolt in a 16mm hole sounds retarded to me. Just a show car with ridiculous camber Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
