New UCA's cause to veer right
After installing adjustable UCA's on the front my my EJ it veers right, pretty hard at slow speeds, not so much at high speeds, but it's still there. I haven't had the camber adjusted yet. So two questions:
Can unequal camber cause the car to want to steer a certain direction? If not, can replacing UCA's mess up your toe angle?
I'm pretty sure it didn't affect my caster, and the pull doesn't seem to be caster related. Tires are new and wheels were just balanced. The steering wheel has no shakiness to it all the way to 115 mph.

changing your uca caused your car to get out of alignment. so getting an alignment should fix that problem

The toe alignment? Or could it just be a camber issue? I'm trying to learn more about aligning on my own, since my car is too low to qualify for firestones lifetime alignments and I change up my suspension a lot.

Re: New UCA's cause to veer right (jolt-tsp)
Bumpity - Really wanna figure this out without the aid of a computer. I don't see how the toe could get out of alignment by changing the UCA's, so I'm assuming its just the camber. The caster seems to be identical to the stock arms, so I don't think it's that. Can positive camber on the left side and negative camber on the right cause a car to want to steer a certain direction?If it's just camber, I can figure it out on my own, but if the toe can somehow be affected by replacing the UCA's then I'll probably have to take it in somewhere

Whenever you make any susp changes you need to get an alignment. Excessive positive camber will cause the car to pull. Toe isnt the only alignment angle that will cause the car to pull left or right. If you need other info PM me.

Re: New UCA's cause to veer right (R_EG)
Well I'm gonna play with my camber this afternoon, see if it affects anything. I just had an alignment last month, so my rear should be okay still. I'll just keep playing with the front camber. I checked my caster tthis morning and it's the same on each side, so I think thats okay.
