The right rear wheel is way too positive, like 1.5 degrees on the positive side. I was wondering if there is a common problem with the early S14 that i can fix myself. I lifted the car and was measuring the different parts, but they all seemed to be similar. Can I install a shim between the hub and the axle housing? Any advice is great. Thanks!

Shim? Sure, if it were FWD. If they can't adjust it down any, it would appear something is bent.

whoa, +1.5 is way high.

When was the last time you went and got an alignment done?

Actually, it was at +1.5 right after my last alignment. I'm thinking at this point I need to take it back and have them do another alignment and figure out what is wrong with the car. I can't figure it out.

Chances are, like I said before, something is bent. Or they don't know how to do adjust the camber on a 240sx. (Even though, if its a newer computerized machine, it shows them pictures)
