    Issues with alginment

    I installed Megan Coilovers and a camber kit from Ninja Performance. Took the car to get aligned and the toe wont come into spec. One side barely got in spec but only because the weld around the adjuster broke at some point and allowed for it to move further than designed.

    Has anyone else had issues with alignments after lowering theirs?

    Type of car and which end won't adjust would be helpful.

    Sorry about that.

    92 R/T TT toe on the rear wont come into spec, either side.
    driver side is 1.46*
    passenger is .38*

    Driver side is the side with the broke weld on the adjustment plate

    Did you disconnect the rear steering rack end links?

    Disconnect them and do alignment first then thread them out like tie rods until they drop into the holes.

    If both the camber kit and the factory lower control arms are set too far in or too far out, you'll never be able to get the toe into spec.

    That brings up this question. Are you trying to align with the factory rear LCA's? If so you are not going to get it into spec. You need aftermarket adjustable ones, like the one Maximal Performance sells.

    I'm assuming that's what he meant by camber kit was the adjustable control arms.

    You could be right. When I read camber kit I assumed aftermarket front camber bolts.
