So I put my spindles on finally and once I got everything back together I noticed I had a huge amount of positive camber. So then I decided and remembered I still had my bars cranked up and decided to decrank them and I still have a good amount to the point where I don’t even want to drive it. Just seems really sketchy has anyone else had an issue like this I know I need alignment well I didn’t think things are gonna be this bad. I have probably four or three threads left in the torsion key before they are bottomed out.

Did you roll the car back and forth? I know if you lift the front end. Both wheels off the ground. When you drop the car it will have positive camber because the rubber making contact with the road won’t allow the wheels to spread back out to normal until you roll the car a couple ft

Yes sir, I drove it down from my driveway and soon as I hit the road I got a really sketchy wonky feeling. Just to clarify everything is tightened down correctly and torqued down to spec. I’ll get pics in the morning. I am thinking about trying to adjust the toe myself just so I can make it a mile or two to the shop.

Been there.
It just needs to be aligned.....it should be able to make it to the alignment shop.
I use Firestone. They give you a year of free alignments for $99, just in case you make more changes it doesn't cost you anything to get it re-aligned.
I think they have a life-time option too.

What kind of spindles did you get?

I’ve been looking at their lifetime for 150 with coupon going on right now. I got the kit off Amazon from LAFORMO

Looks nice.
Thanks bud

So I was going to move it last night to the shop and I had to turn around two streets over. This is ridiculous it is completely out of whack where I can’t drive it. I’m gonna have to get it towed to the shop so I can get a damn alignment does anybody know how to do or any adjustments I can make so I can at least get it there
