silverss05 Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 I just got my 2/2 drop installed last week. I am not sure if it was aligned or not. Today I noticed that the passenger side front wheel is more angled in towards the top than the driver side. Is this a problem I need to get fixed? Does it have to do with an alignment?

Yes it is something you need to address, that condition will wear your tires out prematurely and uneven. Sounds like you need to have the alignment checked..........

NTMD8R_SS Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Im guessing you had a shop do your drop? if so they do not align it after they drop it unless you tell them too. But yes get an alignment A.S.A.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slammedbowtie Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 o dont scare him. both my tires are at -1. my tires are fine lol. i gotta raise the rear an inch so i can raise the front an inch to get the alignment back. they said its the best they can do if the torsion bars are dropped that much. 2" more than the 2" spindle drop= too much.

silverss05 Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 So I went to get an alignment the other day and they told me that I need some 400 dollar bushings to fix the problem correctly. I'm going to take it back to the shop that did the work to see what they can do. They had never heard of these bushings, have any of you guys?

slammedbowtie Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 not sure but i think you can get camber locks to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haul@ss Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I was told the same thing about the bushings, all i know is that they allow you a couple more degrees to work with.. did you turn the torsions at all or just use the spindles alone? I have spindles and turned torsions at pretty much the max drop and am having a hard time getting it aligned perfect... I'm still getting mixed opinions on if drop keys will work or if i should just go with the bushings.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenfre Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 (edited) I guess that you really need to drop by a service center & get an alignment check. Since you already noticed that the passenger side front wheel is more angled in towards the top than the driver side, that's enough reason for that matter. __________________________________ Powered by Autopartswarehouse.com Edited August 12, 2008 by allenfre (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
