Changed trailing arm bushings and now my car wont align
Ok so for a little winter project I installed new bushings for the trailing arms (they were making a lot of noise), front lca bushings, new front upper arms,lower ball joints, and tie rod ends.
Now the alignment guys say they can't align my car better than 2 deg for toe in the rear Im like WTF. He says its because my aftermarket rear lca.
I think it could be because I didn't carefully clock my TA bushings before I sent them off to be pressed in. What are the chances that that is the case. My toe and camber are way off and my car is completely unpredictable over bumps or liesions in the road.

i had the same problem with mine . i would suggest to make sure that the the pin that goes in the traler bushing is aligned and then i also suggest that you get a rear toe kit. i think around 150 for a good kit.

Yeah Ill order a toe kit. I saw a wicked racing one for cheap so I'll get it. They'll probably have a new excuse for not being able to do my alignment. I already came there 3 times, and every time its something new.
