Ok so i got my mechanics to install a superpro camber/toe kit ($280 later) and driving it around i notice it aint handling to well, when not pushing all that hard, it oversteers, and when pushing it real hard it understeers. so i was takin a look at the job they have done and noticed that just by looking at it, my back wheel is tilted compared to my front. (the top of tyre is into the car) on both sides, the camber is now worse than when i sent it to them. does anyone know how to adjust it properly? also, i have the one for both camber and toe, can anyone describe which bushes are the camber ones and which are for toe? any help would be excellent!! thanks
This may sound stupid but did the mechanic actually adjust the camber and toe after installing it? They may have just installed it and given it back to you unadjusted. Was $280 just the cost of labour or including the price of the kit?
Get a four wheel alignment done. Sounds as though they have just fitted it and not aligned it. Did they tell you to get a wheel alignment done afterwards?
does anyone know how i can adjust it? just for the mean time, coz i may not be able to get it perfect but i can get it better than it is now, i can actually see the camber!
sounds like a lot for just installation. ive been told these things are easy to install. might be looking into one for myself soon.
well pedders quoted me for 450 installation (just the labour) and that didnt even include wheel alignment. for just the camber kit apparently its pretty simple, but for the 4 point one (camber and toe) its a bitch. i was told to leave it to the professionals
$280 is a good price for labour. Most places quote over $400 just in labour. But to me it sounds like they haven't adjusted it. You can't do a wheel alignment by sight. You need a pro to do it.
Take it back and tell them you aren't happy with the angle of the wheel and to re-adjust it. It should'nt be on more of an angle after the kit was fitted.
Not_An-Abba-Fan is absolutely correct! It should have less negative camber than it had before you put on the camber kit. Otherwise why even bother right? Unless your springs have sagged to the extreme but if that was the case you would have noticed this anyway, and or the 'experts' would have brought this to you attention before fitting the kit. Like most people already said, return it back and tell them to align it correctly, otherwise it is of no use to anyone, consequently have them take it off and get your money refunded.
