this is on a 95 civic hatch, front suspension
i put a camber kit on my car, and put them both all the way out to positive, one side is lined up straight up and down, the other side still has camber...what would cause this? i'm confused at hell, i've double checked everything on the uca's that i touched while putting the new kit in. what could be wrong?

is there anything i'm over looking? i'm thinking of jacking the coils up just to correct the toe until i can get it aligned let alone fix the camber...i just don't like having one wheel straight up and down, and one being cambered out. the weird part is that its the same ride height on both sides too...

 

Something might be bent. You can fix toe yourself temporarily. Center the steering wheel. Raise the car and loosen the jam nuts on the outer tie rod ends. Make sure the steering wheel is centered and turn the tie rods accordingly until you get the wheels pointing straight or just slight toe out. This will save your tires until you can get it aligned correctly. check for bent control arms etc. Make measurements on both sides to see if things match up.

BTW you want some negative camber. It helps with cornering. At least adjust both sides so they are the same degree so the car doesnt pull. About -2 degrees is a good setting for street. And toe should be 0 or slight toe out.

 

since the camber on both sides was completely different, i raised the coils about 1/3 of an inch, and adjusted the camber kit according to the toe...i don't have a torch to free up the jam nuts on the tie rod ends so i tried the next best thing...i have to get an alignment soon though ahhh

 

take it to a shop and get it done professionaly on an alignment rack. Your camber is always gonna be a little out but it should be like .1 or .2 nothing big

 

firestone around here offers a lifetime alignment. $162, you just need to bring in your car everytime....

 

Something is probably bent. try using a pipe wrench on the bolts. definitely get an alignment.

 

Spray some PB blaster on it.
