i have a 94 gsr.

i just installed my skunk2 front camber kit i got from craigslist.

i tried to adjust the top part, try to make my tire stright. but it didnt work well.
so im decided to get a alignment this coming saturday when i have time.

when i drive on the freeway today, it seems very weird. my steering wheel seems like it keep on draging my car whenever i hit a little pot holes, which never happened before i install my front amber kit. so when i drive around my street. when i make a complete 90 or 180 turn. the steering wheel seems like it want to drag my steering wheel back the other way.

im pretty sure i install it correctly. it's not hard to install a camber kit anyways.
is it suppose to be like that ?? or just because i didnt get my alignment yet ??
should i just take the camber kit off ? seens it wont really do any upgrade anyways. i dont want to get a alignment , and figure out it going to be the same way, and then i need to take it off, and spend another $80 on a alignment again.

also i was wondering, it also could be possible the camber kit is broken, because it is used, and i got it very cheap off craigslist.
let me know your opinion thanks !!!

 

please , at least some advice.

 

come on HT . give me some opinion.
because i want to do everything in the shop by next week !

 

come on HT ! please hele me out.
should i leave it on, or take it off?
thanks !

 

1. You can't do a proper alignment by eye-balling it.
2. A proper alignment includes adjusting the toe, which is probably out of spec for you, which is whats causing the dartiness on the freeway.
3. You DO want to get an alignment, if you want to save your tires and not have crappy steering. Take it to a good place, get total toe zero'd out (or very very close to zero) and don't worry so much about your camber, unless your camber readings come out totally jacked. In which case, its probably because you're messing around with a camber kit.

-10 points for not listening to H-T when we tell you guys:
ITS NOT CAMBER THAT EATS YOUR TIRES, SO PASS ON THE CAMBER KITS
GET AN ALIGNMENT, TOE IS YOUR ENEMY

 

thanks for your opinion.
so your opinion is should i take off the camber kit ??
so it should be fine leaving it on ?

 

i agree

0 your toe

if camber is less than 3 your fine

 

I have the same camber kit as you, with no problems. Prior to my alignment, my car experienced similar handling traits to what you described, post alignment all was well. Basically get the toe corrected, and, since you have the camber kit, get it set as well. I recommend 1.5 degrees negative camber for the front of a street driven Integra.

 

well, thanks for all the opinion.
so the answer is should i take my camber kit off ? or just keep it on. thanks

 

Its possible that the balljoint on the camber kit is shot, which might make it difficult for the shop to do a proper alignment. It will also result in some steering slop I've found (I have two busted upper balljoints on my EF, it sucks to drive).
If they are in good condition, leave them on. If they are bad, take them off. Either way, get that alignment done.

 

well, how could i tell if the ball joints are shoted ?? or they are still in using condition ?? thanks !
