Default Rear camber kit installed but steering is now off...

ok i understand that alignment specs will be altered after the rear camber kit install....but what i dont understand is why my steering wheel alignment is off now. All they did was the rear...could this cause my steering wheel to be slightly off?

i dont think it should....

After I installed mine on Thursday it was scary as hell to drive until I had it aligned. I was all over the place.

You are a victim of toe. Get the rear aligned. It won't feel like a wandering rollercoaster anymore.

Default steering

do yourself a huge favor tho.. have the front ends lower control arm AND compression rod bushngs checked.. i just had all the same things happen, and it may have been coinciudence, but we did my rear camber bars and it left me w crazy toe and i went thru tires like no tomorrow. Then i got the toe removal bolts and a full alignment... then a week later ( since nothing was really adjusted up front) my car was like driving a bull around.. the steering wheel kicked all over and i ruined a set of tires in 1 month... the LCA and Compression rod bushings were shot. Coast about 400 including all labor and parts to fix it, and it was a huge fix..so happy w the car now, rolled the clock back on its life, feels like an expensive car again instead of a go kart.
