wheel alignment question (HELP)
I just finished installing just the rear springs and rear camber kit. I have not done the front yet and have not gotten in alignment yet either.
I just took it for a test drive and i have really really bad toe in on the rear tires. My cars tires almost sounds like its dragging.
Alignment should fix this problem shouldn't it. I did not no where to set the adjustments on the control arms so they are probably way off. My steering wheel is also off center. I didn't no your steering wheel could be off center just from the rear being out of alignment.

If your toe is off enough in the rear it can make you have to drive with the wheel turned to go straight. Yes the alignment will fix your problem. Recommendation: Don't drive it anymore until you get the alignment!!

also make sure you put the toe bolts in the right spot. If you used them on the camber arms that is incorrect. Might sound dumb but we see a lot of shops installing them incorrectly.

I put them on the end of the cup that holds the spring in place that is correct right. I even widened the holes like it said to do. COULD THAT CAUSE MY STEERING WHEEL TO ALSO BE OFF CENTERED. I THOUGHT ONLY THE FRONT WOULD THROW THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF LINE.

As long as you did not attach them to the camber arm then most likely you put them in the right spot. When your rear toe is off enough the rear end will pull the car one way or the other. It will make the steering wheel turned in order to drive straight.
