alignment help
recently installed a set of ingalls camber kit (front kit) for my civic. my problem is that now my right front tire is off. making my tire squeal while im driving straight. how can i adjust this myself
Point your wheel straight
find the tie rods, loosen the jam nut.. and turn the tie rod to make it longer or shorter to turn your wheel in or out.
the way to tell which way to turn it is to take a long string.. or extension cord or something, have a friend hold it across the middle of the back tire.. and hold the string against the middle of the front tire..
gap in the front of front tire .........turn out
gap in the rear of the front tire ....turn in
or for $30 take it to an alignment shop for a front end alignment

or you could grease your tires
speaking of grease.. did you lube the bushings? and ball joints?
