help us help you.

get us a pic with the wheels straight. Also, get down a little lower so its more of a straight picture. And keep your thumb out of the lens

pictures of your suspension set up would help as well. Pictures of your caster camber plates might also help. Although your CC plates arent "causing" the problem, they will show us what the alignment shop might have done to remidy the situation....

without seeing whats under the car, all we can do is blindly speculate...

could be k-member problem. could be a-arm problems. could be a combination of the two.

we need to see it..

we need more pics. get some of the A arms and K member

 

[98_satin_green]

these are the pics i could get of the caster plates and with the wheel strait. ill get it in the air to get pics of a arms and k member , someone told me the other day i needed forward a-arms cant find anything like that.

What arms do you have?

Also have you had an alignment done and what are the specs?

 

[vermilion]

ditch those camber plates. get something with more adjustability. i know youre balling on a budget but search the classified for MM camber plates. or double adjustable with 4 bolts.

Second. I would say it has to do with the A-arms. Also there is a certain amount of slack in K members usually. Check and see if you can loosen up the K member bolts and jerk that bish forward.

I'm thinking it's in the K member/bottom arm mounts.
CC adjustment wont do anything to change that.

If it's not adjustable, i'd send it back.

what A-Arms?

 

[cantbuytime]

I had to massage my k-member forward about 1/2 inch.

IMO- Looks like the a-arms are on the wrong side.

what A-Arms? stock a arms it was a rebuilder with a salvage title but i put it on frame rack and everything was within tollerance of chief systems. is it possible to put them on the wrong side.

Did you put the arms on backward... just an idea

 

[MustangChris]

putting a arms on backwards is *probably* possible, but the sway-bar endlinks wouldnt fit.

if your a-arms only have 1 location for swaybar endlinks, and you have swaybar endlinks connected from your swaybar to your a-arm, your arms are on the correct sides.


as its been said, our K-members have a 1/2" of play in them. their is one "pivit bolt" that has 0 play. it is the *TOP* *REAR* (i think) bolt taht holds the k-member to the frame (under the master-cyliner, basically) the rest of the bolts have room to allow proper alignment of the k-member.


without additional pictures, i suggest crawling under your car with a tape measure and start taking a few measurements to ensure that your k-member is aligned properly....

you said it was salvage, so im not sure what will work exactly on your car...

frame is off! been there my 95 was salvage and the frame was not aligned correctly looked the same way!
