camber

How much does it cost to have your cambers corrected?

[pinoyesv6]

if nothing is damaged, the cost of an alignment and a camber kit.

my front caster and toe was way off when I went to get my alignment yesterday

Firestone has a deal called lifetime alignment which i got so if the alignment ever goes off a bit they adjust it for free. Which is great cause if you're lowered and/or live in a bumpy area.

My caster was 2.1 and is now 2.5 toe was -.32 which explains why my car vibrated as I drove now back to factory spec its a much smoother ride.

i love the way a car feels after an alignment...

to OP, my alignment for all 4 corners was 75 bucks i think a few summers ago?? could be wrong

up to -2 degrees of camber wont cause any problems if the toe is set correctly

I'd like to know how they adjusted the caster, considering there is no factory adjustment for it. Unless you meant camber...

And also your alignment being out DOES NOT cause a vibration. It will cause tire wear, which may lead to vibrations.

i checked my alignment today and my caster was out for some reason. really shocked me. and my rear toe was way off for some reason. i realigned it and put it to these settings
Front Camber 0.0/0.0
Front Toe 0.01/0.0
Rear Camber -2.3/-2.5
Rear Toe 0.19/0.20

ive played with different setups with all my different sets of tires and this way is the best for rear tire wear if you have camber like that. my rear tires wear completely even now with that setup

I guess my wheels were off balance then either way vibration was there during turns I changed wheels around it was still there got new wheels and suspension and it was still there got my alignment done and it was gone.

I have no clue how they adjusted caster but they did according to the machine.

I also get the free lifetime at firestone, but how do you know when the toe, camber, and whatever else is correct? do you ask for a print out? they've never gave me a print out, ive been with them for three years now. also, when i take it in what do i tell them i want done with it if its not pulling either way?

[03-Galant-ES]

I just say check it for me and if anything needs doing do it.

I know one of the guys that works there, but I think they'll do it if you ask them since you paid for the life time thing. If anything ever feels slightly off just go can you check it and correct it if it needs correcting.

And they give me the printouts without my asking.

[silver01g]

yeah this guys are uptight they go directly by the book.

[03-Galant-ES]

well if something is wrong they are required to fix it since u have lifetime alignment they shouldnt offer it if they wont do it.

lol rides at like 20mph fine? I could never feel comfortable tucking that much bro but it does look nice. Like I said my wheels were probably off balance they are still lug centric I forgot to have my guy install the hub centric rings when I got the new tires and since ride is smooth for right now i am leaving it. When I stop feeling lazy I'll throw my rings on.
