So...I have a 99 civic that is lowered with koni yellow and tein springs, and a front camber kit ONLY! I got the car aligned the other day and it still pulls to the right noticably..The shop guy said its the passenger rear..because i have no rear camber kit...
If I were to throw a washer er two as the rear camber kit...would that surpass. Test drive it to see how many washers would be best? Would it mess the alignment of my other wheels?...
Or should I just get an actual rear camber kit and get ANOTHER alignment?
Any input would be appreciated!

 

can you post the alignment sheet?

 

With the Honda multi-link rear end (having the upper suspension arm that attaches to the chassis at only one point), changing camber of a rear wheel will have no affect on any of the other wheels. It will also only change the camber on that wheel, i.e. toe won't be affected (which isn't the case if you change the camber of a front wheel).

 

unfortunatly I don't have the alignment sheet...Wonder if they keep it on file...
Good , i was hoping other wheels won't be affected by one another...
So i will start just by adding one washer increments then?

Thanks!

 

before you do that you have to think of things like tire presure(this can cause a car to pull) and the angle of the road. many people, and not saying you are, think their car is not aligned properly because the car pulls to the side of the road(right) while infact its the slant of the side of the road for water run-off that is causing the car to pull. I've seen it plenty of times. Again, not saying your dumb or anything. just something to consider.

 

tire pressures would definately be worth checking too. but hopefully they equalized them all before they aligned. its absolutely necessary.

 

yeah, I'm not dumb.. I've driven the car now over 250 miles; its not the angle of the road nor the tire pressure... I can see with the naked eye the right rear wheel sits at a hard angle.

 

He never said you were dumb. Did you get an alignment from a reputable shop?

 

i never said you were. take the car back. there are shims theat should fix it.

 

i agree that its completely on the alignment shops responsibility to get your car to go straight. thats what you paid them for. if they know its a problem with the rear being cambered out (which is typical for EK chassis), then they can fix that with shims that they should have to complete alignments on other vehicles in a similar fashion.
