I remember. Email shox.com thats where I got them I think. Also you don't need to get two kits. If the the alignment guy said only the rear was bad then just get one. No sense in wasting $25.

Nice to know that the Eibach kits allow almost a 2 degree change. Since my clobbering a kerb back in December, I discovered that I have just under 2 degrees of camber on the driver's side front wheel that cannot be adjusted out by an alignment shop without a kit. The only ones I saw where the OBX kits that allow a degree.

Just something to add to the growing list of parts I need for my eventual suspension overhaul and upgrade.

I has asked about the pulling when braking as a pull when driving can also be a bearing, but the main sign of that is when the pulling stops when you apply the brakes.

Just found a website with eibach kits for $41 shipped for two sets. Will be purchasing them tonight.

I think my rear is maxed out and is on the real edge, so I might as well spend extra money to make sure everything is in perfect condition.

Thanks for caring Mad smile.gif I'm pretty sure it's just the alignment smile.gif

thanks guys

Drop me an email/PM I've got 2 full camber kit sets here.

BTW, It might also be caster that's your problem. If your stock A-arm bushings are all clapped out, that could also cause toe-in/out which might be your problem.
You can get bushings from www.superpro.com.au that will allow you to adjust your caster from +2 to -2 Degrees.

Caster is maxed out as well, but caster causes either heavyness or lightness in steering. It will not cause a car to be pulled to one side or another. And they fixed my toe last time I was there.

Will PM you in a second.

I got them online. Cant remember from who. But anyway. Yeah they work with any struts. There are two bolts that connect the strut to the (I forget what its called). The only other bolts on the front strut besides the tower mounts on the top.


So these kits just replace the stock bearing plate then? Is that what the (forgotten) part was?

If you look at the picture below they replace the top Strut Mounting Bolt.

Okay makes perfect sense. I was thinking that it was the strut insulator assembly, but now iI know what's goin' on.

Thanks Ultra. smile.gif
