Recently I had the rack and pinion and outer tie rods replaced on my 1993 Del Sol. As per everyone's suggestions I took the car to get aligned. After some issues with the car being too low to go on the ramp they finally told me that they wouldn't be able to because the camber on my front passenger's tire was off and it isn't adjustable.

They suggested that I get a camber kit and have it installed then bring it back. I've read over and over again not to use a camber kit but I'm not really sure what to do.

The weird thing was that he was telling me the camber was off on just one tire. What could that mean? Any suggestions would be great.

 

It could mean quite a few different things. An infinite amount of things, almost. How low is it and how much was the camber off?

 

Not enough information provided.

What type of suspension is on the car? Coilovers? Lowering springs?

What size wheel and tire? They should be the same in the front and same in the rear.

What's the condition of the tires?

Any accidents?

You can start by measuring the height from ground to the fender.use the middle of the hub as your reference point.it's probably off on one side or the other.

Adjust as needed. Align

 

I bought the car already lowered and I don't know how they did it. It has 14 inch wheels and the tires are all the same and in good condition. No accidents.

The camber was just fine before the rack and pinion was replaced and I don't know how that affected it.

Should I just take it to another alignment shop and see if they can find the issue?

 

So get a camber kit.............

 

What would measuring the height on each side do? How would I adjust?

 

You have to check to see what type of suspension you have. Coilovers are height adjustable. Lowering springs are not.
