well i installed an aftermarket kit to help get my front wheel alighnment get better becuz the caster and camber were quite off speified range. Although it still pulls to the right just like it did before. I did get the readout from leschwab and after the installation the camber got better but the caster got worse . did i get duped into installing an aftermarket kit? only spent 98.00 for parts and the labor was free due to an earlier mishap i had with them. ill post the degrees up if need be.

Why is it that the front camber and caster cant be adjusted without an aftermarket kit? So basically once a Z32's alighnment gets off there is no way of fixing it back to factory specs?

so was the car wrecked? has it been out on a frame rack? I know you posted on this before but I don't think you ever answered, if it's out of spec there si a reason, wither it's been wrecked, or lowered?

i was thinking the stock had escentric's for a small amount of camber asjustment, some cars only have toe adjustments, the MR2 was themost adjustable car I have owned

it has never been in a wreck and it is not lowered. There is no way the front camber and caster can ever be adjusted on a Z32 without an aftermarket kit which is very stupid. Anybody know why the hell it cant be adjusted?

why is it out of wack? if it won't align there is a reason, something has been changed or bent! if you're having this much trouble you might bee to take it to a frame ad body shop and have the chassis pulled back into shape the rear camber is adjustable! it uses a stock escentric bolt in the upper link in the rear, the fronts can be adjusted using escentric bolts at either end of the upper link and I believe you cna buy adjustable upper links as well

whys is it not adjustabble? because it's not suppose to change, once it's assembled at the factory it should stay unless something gets changed or bent
