Default Look @ my Alignment Numbers Plz.

Im only concerned with front end of my car.

Springs: 1.25" drop
shocks: stock
Camber kit: -1 to +3 degrees

Front left camber reading: -1.3
Front Right camber reading: 0

What could cause this? When i was settinng up the shocks and springs (comrpessing them) i tightened the front left a little less than the front right but only by about 5 turns or so (the bolt).

The camber kit is maxed out on the front left while on the front right it is about in the middle. Any ideas?? Does the lower shock fork installation have anything to do with it? Im guessing no....

Is the car leaning to the left? Has it ever been wrecked?

It slightly veers to the right.

When i bought it, it had cut springs 2" drop in front, no camber kit AND it went in a STRAIGHT LINE.


Could i correct it by putting some negatie camber on the front right tire?? Any suggestions or input welcome

I don't get it, why is the rt camber kit at a different setting than the lt? are you looking for more camber or less?

Thats just the way its set. THe right side is set to 0 degrees while i NEED more POSITIVE camber to eliminate or decrease the -1.3 degrees on left side. THe camber kit is maxed out meaning i cant adjust it any further because it is at the end
