curious question.

i just recently got my alignment done since i moved to a set of coilovers(D2 coilovers). the rear alignment was way off, then they got it set to 0. the front used to be swerving right a lot before the alignment, but now it swerves left. i looked at the results and here they are:

legend: *- in place for degrees

left front
Caster
before: 1*48' after: 1*18'

Camber
before: -1*00' after: 0*24'

Toe
Zeros

right front
Caster
before: 0*54' after: 0*30'

Camber
before: -3*00' after: 0*24'

Toe
Zeros

one thing, i have to look at the toe measurements. these are not right. i know for a fact they were off as well. seems to me that they solved/ evened out the camber, but the caster is favoring on the left more. any inputs? could the steering rod affect any of this.

caster should be as close to equal as possible for both. And a caster setting like yours will cause a pull but the side with the least amount of caster is where it should be pulling. The alignment shop was probably compensating for other problems in your suspension. Visually inspect your control arm bushings and loose bolts on your strut. Im not sure about integras but macpherson suspensions usually dont have caster adjustments but there are other ways around that.

 

driver's side is perfect. passenger side looks tucked in. toe looks good. camber looks perfect.

fyi guys: these are coilovers with camber plates in the front and camber rods in the back.

bumpity... anyone else?
