I am thinking about goin to Sears to get my car aligned after i get my car dropped becuase thats the cheapest place i could find. I was wondering, if theres a slight camber issue with my tires, but a kit is not needed, will that be fixed with the alignment?

as far as i know, i think they can adjust the camber to a very small amount without a kit, but if they have to adjust it alot, they need a kit. Im pretty sure thats how it goes, but maybe someone else has a different opinion......by the way, who is the girl in ur avatar, she is hot.. :thumbsup:

Actually camber affects tire wear a lot. When you see a tire where the inside is worn out and the outside is new, that is camber wear. It will also cause the most pull

if you've got 18s, not all tire shops could handle your wheels. at least not in my area. even the major chains couldn't align my wheels. i had to call 5-6 shops to check if they could do 18s.
