like the tittle says will bad struts make your car camber worse..or is it all about the alignment?

thanks.

 

anybody?

 

get a camber kit. but no they shouldnt

 

I think they should effect camber since the shocks will drop more and it means to get alignment.

 

well i have a camber kit already and i wanted to know cause im getting an alighnment tommrow..and i have bad struts i was wondering if that would affect it even after i got an alighnment.

not really, atleast it hasn't happen to my wifes saturn. she blew the strut and has been driving like that for over a year, along with no alignment for over a year and the tires are good, no signs of premature wear.

 

The springs/coilovers are much more likely to screw up the ride height and therefore camber.

A blown shock just removes the dampening and added resistance to shock, the spring is where most of the weight is carried on. An old bent/sagging/cut spring may cause this, but a blown strut will likely have a minimal effect on your camber.

 

ok i have neuspeed springs like 2.5 in drop on stock struts it was like that when i bought the car and im 17 and no job so i have no money to replace struts..and it is just eating tires all my friends have been donating steelies to me forever and now i have enough money for a alighnment so i hope that helps with it.

most likely the whole time you had a bad alignment. get the alignment then find a way to save up for some struts. mow some yards if you need to!
