How's my alignment?

Yes I really did do this a few hours ago. I got lazy on the front toe I know it should be zeroed out.

Although I don't pull in any direction, it's been a while. I bet I am way out of whack, especially considering the last time I did suspension work, aside from a ball joint, was at 72k and I'm at 215k now.

It would appear that you have replaced your tension rod bushings but not your upper links? -1.4 is high for a non lowered Q. You've also got something interesting going on in the rear too, why one side is -1.4 and the other is -0.7

Well I replaced the upper links yesterday. Not a bad job, But was a pain to toque the bolts to 75 FT/LBS of torque with the car on the ground. I did the alignment yesterday as well. I went to a local sears to have it checked and they game me this:



I went to a local shop who has a Nissan Tech of (15 years) and he said the body may be damaged. But I figure before I see a frame straightener I may check with you guys first.

I have never changed the lower control arms or steering rack bushings.

Could I have messed up the installation of the upper links?

I reused the nut that looks like a castle nut because the local dealer didn't have it in stock (as usual). The nut looks like its designed not to back out according to the Nissan tech.

Can the bolts and nuts be installed in any direction as well?

The local dealer needs money just to get a moment of the techs time. I feel like spending the money to go to the hunter alignment school.

I fear working on my own car (because it never feels fixed) but I can't trust anyone else to do it either (Except for a few people on the forum).

And Wes sorry I must have called you four times yesterday because I was frustrated I Couldn't align the car right.

I'd check the lower control arm bushings. The important part is really that it's good side to side.

The thing that's interesting is that the camber is high all around, sort of seems like the car is riding too low like the springs are sagging? It's odd for it to be off all roughly the same.

Will do! nearly every rubber piece is coated with silicone grease.

You mean play when shaking the wheel up and down? Side to side has to do with inner/outer tie rods.

Could it be that I installed the nuts and bolts for the upper links in correctly. Like one side has the nut facing foward (Front of the car) and the other side has the nut facing the back of the car?
