My DC2 front wheels lean inward. they are on cut springs...
how can i fix this. i thought maybe a camber kit to straighten and fix the problem???

 

The only reason for the camber kit would be to make your camber specific. That means old school alignment, not laser.

Let me make it clear. "Tolerances won't be tolerated, either it is right or it is wrong, not almost."

 

Try buying proper suspension first.

 

How about not being cheap and riding on cut springs?

 

Ah crap yah proper springs first. Better yet coilovers, read the sticky.

 

You don't need to have coilovers. A simple set of springs/shocks will do.

 

yeah your cut springs are a nightmare waiting to happen. change them out!

 

You're using Novocaine to cure a cold. Get a proper suspension setup.

 

if i get a set of lowering springs will my car be as low?

 

Well how low is your car now? Do you like the stance? Is the ride quality compromised IYO?

Pix perhaps?

 

sorry no pix for right now. but the car is pretty low. i do not like the stance of the front wheels because they lean inward. what do i have to get in order to be slammed and fix this problem?

 

It's not a problem. It's normal, it happens when lowering the car. Unless your runing some stupid amount of negative camber IMO it really dosn't look that bad. But, maybe I am just used to seeing my car.


The ONLY way to fix this in front is a camber kit. Which poses it's own issues if the car is too low...

 

now, i was ready on the sticky about not needing a camber kit and it said that i wcan bring it to an alignment shop and have them adjust the toe.

 

What's the question?

 

actually i just spoke to my boy at the alignment shop and he says i need a camber kit so the front wheels become striaght. so it looks like thats the answer for what i have to do.

 

Yeah. Don't even try and replace those busted cut springs.

 

You don't want the front wheels to be "straight."

Some camber is a good thing.

Did he tell you what your camber is? Most places will check your alignment for free.

 

no but ive seen it. its on the top inside. its hard to explain. but i definetley think i need an alignmebt as well. btw how can some camber be good?

 

Your car came from the factory with 1* of camber. It makes the car handle better and is thus safer.

0 camber is bad. Only useful at the drag strip. Even then .3-.5* of camber is good for stability and safety.

Seen what?

If your tires are wearing unevenly it's more probable that it's the toe or caster wearing your tires. Camber does wear tires more quickly on the inside, but many users on these forums (myself included) have ridden on 3-4* camber for years with even tire wear.

 

Caster doesn't wear tires either, it just causes pull and other handling issues.

OP, get rid of the cut springs and then get an alignment. There's a good chance your camber will be okay and having the toe set will be all you need.

 

thanks for ALL the info. i really apreciate the help.
