hey everyone...finally got my car on the laser alignment rack at wyotech...my **** is really messed up. I have a toe and camber problem in my right front wheel...my rear wheels have 2.00+ degrees of negative camber on the left side and 2.85 degrees on the right. And my thrust angle is offcenter and slightly to the left...this all means my car pulls right really really hard...which it does.

We tried adjusting the camber and toe and were slightly successful on the toe but the camber wouldn't go below those figures. I figure that my struts and springs are sagging in the rear and my camber eccentrics are messed up...meaning new struts/springs + camber kits!? anyone know how to solve the problem!? any help is appreciated! thanks in advance!

Aftermarket camber kit, and rear toe arms.

My rear toe was so out of spec before my alignment that it didn't even register on the Hunter alignment machine. Right side is perfect now, but the left is still a little out of range. With cars as old as ours the stock adjustment points can't manage, esp. with a lowered car (like mine). Anyhow, check out http://www.splparts.com or http://www.phase2motortrend.com to find components to fix the camber/toe issues. At least you got the toe under control, out of spec toe can chew up your tires FAST.
