Camber Kit install gone bad
oK, I put my front upper control arm camber kit on yesterday, and for some reason this morning when I was driving, the car started to shake, and got progressively worse. I think i know why, i think somehow the bolts that you use to adjust them became loose so they were moving freely in and out... gonna check on that, but any other ideas why?
also, i don't know if it was like this before, but my tires are now pigeon toed, they look like this from above \ / just not that drastic. any ideas?

Re: Camber Kit install gone bad
ok just went out there, raised the car, and i can't moved it from top to bottom, as if the bolts were loose. i'm still gonna tighten them, but whaty else could it be?

Re: Camber Kit install gone bad
i can't think of a reason why your tires are duck toed like that, but that will definately make your car shake cause each tire is trying to do it's own thing instead of working together. Fix your toe and i bet it won't shake anymore. Did you have it aligned after you put the kit in? You need to do that quick before you eat your tires up.

Re: Camber Kit install gone bad
did u make sure everything moves w/o interferance?
remove the wheel strut, and sway bar, then move the suspension up & down looking for whatever hits.

Re: Camber Kit install gone bad
Yeah bro it's always important to get your car aligned after any major change to the suspension. You should definately get that done as soon as you can

Re: Camber Kit install gone bad
went to get it aligned, they said the frame was bent, hence the wheels being set back. got it looked at, the frame i good, he says its just b/c its out of alignment. so i gotta go try to get it aligned again, but i had an idea with whyt eh toe was so bad.
the toe is really bad (its outward), and the car shakes, but i'm guessing thats from really bad toe. Could i fix the toe by loosening the camber kit and adjusting it left to right along with up and down (the tire)?
