I've had my car since May and have yet to be able to get someone to align it.

When I took it the first time, they told me they couldn't align it and to get adjustable rear camber arms. I did this; they give -4,+4 extra degrees. They couldn't get the camber aligned passed +1 if the toe was in spec. If they put the camber in spec, it pushed the toe out.

So I then put SPC toe bolts on it which gives an extra -3,+3.

Still with all this, they can't get it aligned. At this point I'm not sure if they know what they're doing. I paid them so I wanted them to fix it.

I hope this all made sense..lol

Nothing looks bent under my car; I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be aligning. Anyone have any problems like this or know of anything it might be? Or does it sound like I should try somewhere else?

 

Post up the alignment specs they gave you so we know what you are dealing with.

 

Stock suspension or are you lowered? If lowered, on what?

Has anyone inspected your bushings?

 

What Sparkle said. Not enough information.

 

Lowered on gf210s. No one's checked the bushings.

 

Did you dremel out for the SPC toe bolts or just install them in the existing holes?

If not, try that.

If so, I would:
1) Double check my camber arm installation
2) Get the bushings checked
3) Post up alignment specs/printout so the alignment wizards on here can give you some advice

Also, are you running any of the following:
Wheel spacers
hubcentric adapters for aftermarket wheels
bent wheels
aftermarket wheels with different offsets
tires with different overall diameter than OEM

What were the "target alignment specs" that you/they were hoping for?

 

Rear

 

Bushings are ok
no spacers
got the hubcentric adapters
no bent wheels--has had three diff wheels on since may including oem 350z wheels

oem specs...just want my car aligned so it quits chewing my tires.

 

& we dremeled the holes for the toebolts.

 

get a new alignment shop.......or something else your not telling us is way off...i know the GF210 drop the car quite a bit, and if they have age, they sag even more...but still, they should be able to align to a matching LH and RH side at least...

check the following:
1. the toe bolt dremeling on the right side.
2. the spring on the right side is installed the same as the left side, including the rubber spring mounts.

 

The left rear got some crazy toe going on. Has the car been in an accident?

 

after i talked to them today, they aren't even knowledgable enough to hold a conversation about what's wrong. they weren't able to align the car before the springs were even put on either. ive talked to nissan and the place the bolts are from and they both think the shop just sucks so im taking it somewhere else. they keep trying to say something is bent under my car, but there's literally nothing bent. everything measures up perfect. even a frame shop said if something was bent, that with the two parts ive put on, it can still be aligned. can't wait to get my $ back when the next shop CAN do it.

 

Let us know how it works out!
