How bad could the alignment be? You never heard the story of our alignment at Nationals last year. Lets just say it was a mystery...since we drove the car out of the shop in the middle of this dude trying to cover for really screwing up the car.

Ended up doing OK, as it turned out. :D


How bad could the alignment be....hmmmm I only removed, disassembled and reinstalled the entire steering rack so I could replace a bushing that was causing a rattle. I fixed the rattle but it pulls hard right with the R1R's on, not at all with the OEM tires crappy tires. Schedule has been re-arranged, I'll be there, I just gotta be there, its sooooo close to my house.


That's an easy fix. Your caster and camber should not have changed, just toe. Using the jack stands and sting method, you could probably check/set toe in the time it took to replace the bushings, or less.


Caster and camber are mostly just what they are from lowering.

I REALLY suck at setting toe with strings and jackstands. REALLY SUCK, like Steve Remchak could do better. I have a plan, just can't find my string since we moved last month.
