I swapped my tires left to right and I'm pulling to the left now but still pulling to the right also. I'm pretty sure the car is leveled. While at the alignment shop the guy said something about the camber or caster not actually being adjustable because of my coilovers but some how he did it. Also oddly I'm hearing some kind of grinding or crunching sound. Hope the didn't break my wheel bearing or something. I just replaced it a month ago.

ok, if your pulling left now, you now have to flip the lhf tyre around on the rim. that should fix it. looks like you have a little toe in, so it shouldn't wander around too much.

the lhr camber (mentioned b4) is kinda all wrong, but i dont think thats adjustable ( you beam rear axle ?) been in a prang sometime?

it just wont be helping things.

yes,flip it on the rim and re-balance it.

think about buying another beam, if its not too hard/expensive

500 dorra too expensive for me -_-(used beam plus labor) . also not sure what years of the b15 i can use for the rear beam .

btw not sure how the mechanic adjusted the camber , caster or what ever with these pillow mounts . not sure anything about alignment but my coilovers dont have camber plates.

If u flipped tires and it pulls the other way. You need tires. That means it's a tire pull. Your rear beam isn't helping since the alignment is out in the rear. Your camber in the frt isn't helping either. But with out camber plates u can't do anything about that.

Address the issue in the rear left first.

the rear tires before the alignment actually wear out evenly .

1.1 degrees positive camber??


And there should be some adjustments in the fronts for camber. Loosen the bolt to the knuckle, push top of the wheel in and you will have more negative camber.

okay just to give an update , i went on a road trip to vegas from LA and back to see if the tires would even out and auto correct itself via tire wear , and it has the car goes straighter for longer periods of time but then eventually will pull to the right lightly , sometimes to the left also . i'm planning on flipping both tires since both front inner tires are a little worn from me driving around w/ out getting alignment for so long (was waiting around to buy both inner and outter rods and changed the driver wheel bearing).

also this has happened ever since i got the alignment but most noticeable when driving at lower speeds there is a grinding sound emitting like its the CV Axle or wheel bearing , also my car has been feeling rough when i go over bumps . i'm planning on calling them to check out the car to see what the hell they did.
