hey everyone heres whats happening. my passenger front and both back wheels are all perfect as far as camber but after a 4 wheel alignment all of the wheels should be perfect assuming all the suspention or whatever is ok right? pshhh wrong. my front driver side wheel has positive camber and all the others have negative. the guys at town fair tire cant seem to find the problem and dam is it annoying. my steering wheel and brakes shake when hitting the brakes, or when im on the highway the wheel shakes and my car pulls to the left and quite frankly im a bit scared. its been very cold here lately so i havent had any motivation to go take a look myself. now ive already searched and found nothing, and obviously i know ill be flamed for whatever reason so its all good. so all i really want to know is what may be causing this? the key things here are.

1. steering wheel shakes
2. car pulls harshly to the left
3. brakes shake while braking at any speed.
4. driver side front wheel has positive camber.

if anyone can help it would be greatly apreciated! thanks in advance!

 

positve camber? wow i cant see how thats possible unless you have wrong upper control arms that are too long or lower control arms that are too short. shaking wile breaking sounds like you need new rotors. has your car ever been in an accident? maybe you have chassis damage ei. you hit a curb and bent something making your lower control arm push back.

 

im not exactly sure if it was in any accidents. i traded my old DA for it and i never really took a peek at it.

 

It sounds like you have warped rotors and maybe loose outer tie rods. Start shaking suspension parts to see if you can isolate the problem, also do the wheel shake test.

 

anyone else have any ideas?

 

just jack up that side of the car and start shaking the wheel. one hand in front, one hand on the back. If theres looseness(?), its probably the tir-rod. then one hand on top, one on bottem doing the same thing. if it's loose it could be the wheel bearing. I had the same problems, except for the positive cambe, and my wheel bearing was bad.

 

I had a crx that had positive camber and someone had put newer model spindles on the front. Car also shook violently. Hope this helps.
