Camber problem stock suspension
So, I had an alignment done today because my car was shaking like a pita while accelerating and at high speeds. (high speed problem not fixed by the way)
I noticed that my front left camber was -1.4 degrees and the front right is +0.8 degrees.
What would cause my camber to be off so much in the negative on the front left?
The car kind of sags a little... could it be old springs?
Let me know,
thanks
Anthony
PS. 95 Civic Hatch w/ H22 swap. Stock suspension/tires/rims... (don't ask) stock exhaust too.....

Re: Camber problem stock suspension (93preludeh22)
i could be wrong but i have heard you need stiffer springs when you throw a h22 into a hb. so that could cause the front to be sagging. now why they are different on each side i dunno. maybe one spring is starting to sag and thats causing the otherside to sit up more? hell i dunno

Yah, you definately need better springs to run h22 I'm broke though
Is it possible that the spring is original... is there a way to check if it has sagged? Can I jack up the car and measure? or measure with it compressed by the car??/
thanks

Re: Camber problem stock suspension (rukawa1one)
old springs+h2. thats your answer. just get a set of eibachs so they wont sag they have warranty against it and it wont lower to much to cause binding issues+alignment. and you will be set.
