Would love some help with this folks. I just got my car back from the body shop. Got some rear end work done. After the work was complete, I put on some new wheels. The car is already lowered (Eibach). I went for an alignment and was told that for the most part my car (2000 Tib) could not be properly aligned. Manufacturer does not specify camber and castor adjustment for front and camber in rear. Tow is ok but all four of my wheels are more than a degree off of spec in both camber and castor. Shop says they can't fix it because manufactuer doesn't specify and adjustment. Is there any way to make me wheels stright again???? rolleyes.gif

It is not that the manufacturer does not specify and adjustment, it is with the stock suspension, there is just no physical way to adjust the camber/castor on the rear, and there is limited adjustment on the front.

You can get Camber/castor "kits" from ingalls for the front, but I dunno about the rear. It it is one of the disadvantages of having a lowered car. You simply have them ajust things to as close as they can...and that's all you can do! wink.gif

You can order the Eibach camber correction kit for both front and rear. Tirerack.com has it. About $25 I think.

Cool, I didn't know Eibach had camber kits for the tibby! And their $25 price is cheaper than Ingalls! Thanks Etep!
