i dont really think you need camber kit with prokits. I used to have prokits and mine was fine without it. But of course every car is different. But if you do need them...i suggest progress kit in front and ingalls rear. That's what i have now.

The shop that did the allignment did not center the steering wheel. Something that should be done of it's off by this much.

If your car is totally stock besides the springs and 17's it should not do that. Iether there is something seriously wrong with your suspension or allignment shop doesn't know what they are doing. You should go back and they should redo the allignment for free and have them check all the suspension components. Do you have allignment specs after the allignment, what was your camber in the front?

I just got it back from Royal Honda , the hole bottom was replaced all stock except for the muffler the main brace center brace bushings ($3700.00) hit a concrete speed bump that was too high and i did not see it ,until it was to late so INS. took over. they have done the allingment twice. once w/ the stock 15's. two days later it was cocked to the left. then i put on the 17's they did it again. back to normal (cocked left).

Like I said, something is seriously wrong, I would get that checked out as soon as possible. Let me tell you, you don't want anything to happen while your're going 60 mph.

Yea you do have a point I've already been in the hospital to much in the past week. I'm def. ill but it is controlable cronic pulminary disease w/ asthma. ****in sucks. I will go in Mon., and let you know what they say. thanks ed.

Well they found the prob. The bolt on the tierod was left loose. I went to my friends shop and thats what he found. I had only a few more miles left b-4 trouble. As for the other place they are cutting me a check for the cost of a real allignment. thanks.

E.G.W.W."92" · 05-07-2002, 05:45 PM
