i messed up my rear suspension need help! please!
hey guys hope someone can help! I hit a water drain poorly installed going 40mph and bent my driver side rear camber and traction arm when got home my rear driverside tire was pulled in. Ordered kinetixs arms n replaced all four arms. After the install my drivers rear tire is still pushing inward but if I reverse it aligns itself into position. Nothing is lose or broken underneath that I can see please help will post pics later. Thanks raul

Have you checked to make sure the body attachment points are not damaged??? Even if the parts are replaced if the point where they are attached to the body is damaged the geometry will be thrown off. Just my 2c

we set the kinetix arms to stock specs and installed them. Xzotklr we did check the attachment points and nothing seems broken or out of place (also the welds underneath our cars suck "f"in robots) you would think they would screen them first before hiring them?

sounds like the traction arm. i used to live on that side of town a long time ago, on center street in deerpark near 225 there was an alignment shop by deer park muffler that the owners son specialized in lowered alignments because he had a few slamed hondas and 240's, i would check them out if they still exist

what the hell??? dude, nothing is to move and align "itself"
first off? have you gone in for alignment? a good alignment tech will find the issue! tell him your problem as well..
second, take tons of pics and post them, but give the car a great look over.......check all the bushings and mount locations.... check for cracks on the spring bucket...etc..
