Getting the run around..... alignment

[Beef]

So who here has gotten the run around for getting their car aligned into spec using the stock adjustments? My dealer states that the front end is maxed out ... i call bullshit.

Steering wheel is off center and she pulls to the right.
Just want to see a show of hands that has gotten thier car aligned properly without using aftermarket adjusters.

I am having a similar issue but mine pulls to the left and I'm stock. Dealer said was perfectly aligned. I haven't had the time to bring it back yet.

I found your problem: "dealer"

Steeda Ultralites will probably need camber bolts or CC plates. A good performance alignment shop should be able to get it okay and there's no excuse for pulling left/right way on straight, flat, non-tilted road regardless.

I have Ultralites and CC plates and you can tell my strut is cocked over some to achieve my alignment, something I could never do with out those plates.

If your steering wheel is off center, then the alignment tech didn't have it straight when he/she was doing the work - that's half ass. An easy mistake, but nonetheless half ass.

I tried telling them to at least fix the wheel and the pull but more excuses followed.... they lost a customer

You need to go to a PERFORMANCE alignment shop. Not a dealer. Talk to the import guys with actually well-done cars. They always know where to go locally...

I am stock and shouldn't have to pay a performance shop to fix something that should be right from the factory.

I had a dealer actually tell me manual cars pull to the right. :headbonk:

These are my specs when I got the alignment done the first time.... according to the before and after for the fronts it doesnt look like the camber or caster has ever messed with just the toe..... which screwed up my steering.

What #s are you guys running on a lowered daily driver??

Here's how mine ended up after mine was "aligned"...I'm on Eibach sportlines....guy said the front didn't really have any adjustability...

I don't have any pull, but never really thought he knew what he was doing...haven't done anything else about it....edit, not sure why it shows sideways but you get the idea

There wasn't any adjustability because you need aftermarket caster/camber plates. they are essential after installing lowering springs. get yourself a set, and then have it realigned.

+1 for camber plates, Steeda couldn't get my front in spec with out them but I am solid now that I have their plates.

Camber bolts will work just fine.....

Here's my before and after lowering with Steeda Sport Progressive springs. I do have the Steeda adjustable toe links. I'm not sure that you can adjust the toe on stock toe links.
