does fire stone do lowered vehicles? my car is slammed basically, but i have a camber kit to correct it

 

just curious, how am i supposed to do all that if my car is sitting on a flat level surface?? i can't reach around my rim or get under my car at all with any tools if it's sitting on the ground

 

alright.. before i adjusted my front camber kit the other day, the toe settings were fine, but after i adjusted them is when the tires started to go outwards. Should i have expected that to happen or what?

i've also tried disconnecting my end tie rods and trying to adjust it, but it doesn't work like that.. no matter what, the toe setting still settles in the same place..

i relize i'll need to take it to an alignment shop, but i need to have the car driveable before i drive it to an alignment shop

 

uhh..you change camber, you change toe.....


yes, you should have expected that.


how far is your align. shop?


you can eyeball it, drive it up on ramps, and get under it. there is a locknut on the tie rod, where the inner and outer come together (most hondas is a 19mm) loosen it, and take a 14mm wrench or a pair of pliers on the inner tie rod, and adjust.

usually, if you are increasing camber to compensate for lowering, you will need to toe the tires out, since they will be hella toed in....basically, thread it into the outer tie rod about two turns on each side. it will get you close....


drive it to the align shop....a few miles wont hurt....but it will be interesting to drive

good luck.....

 

yea, i didn't know much at all about alignment until i started to try to do it on my own(i still don't know much, but it's alot more than before). i figured out after a few tries that adjusting the camber kit was also affecting the toe.

my solution was to just adjust my camber kit so that the toe wouldn't be as bad as it was. i took it for a short drive in poquoson and i can go about 45 mph and be alright. I think I'm going to take it to Custom Car Care on 17 monday and let them do a front end alignment on it.

 

i have no idea as to where any of those places are....but thats cool.


see..this is why you have them installed while the alignment is being done...
