Thread: Answer this alignment question

I don't want to pay for a 4 wheel alignment if there is nothing to adjust on the rears. Even if its only 15 bucks extra for a 4 wheel alignment. 15 bucks is 15 bucks. That's half a tank of gas.

Most new alignment equipment sets up as 4 wheel ... It possible to do a 2 wheel , but for them to guarantee your car is going to drive correctly they want to make sure the rear is correct also ... make sure they dont get a comeback , besides all they do on the rear is put the machine on , I dont think you will see a price difference between a 2 wheel and a 4 wheel on a B14 ....

The only thing you can get is MAYBE a little bit of camber with the bolts on the strut. There's a little bit of play and you can adjust it to give you "maximum" camber but you're only talking MINIMAL camber that you'll get.

Nothing adjustable nothing worth getting more than your front wheels aligned. There's no tie rods in the rear to change so nothing changed, right?

How will the camber change with moving the strut? Its obvious you have never taken yours apart.

The rear is not adjustable at all with factory parts without bending something or rewelding things.

On a 2 wheel alignment they will still hook up the rears but only adjust the fronts. If the rear is out of wack they will tell you and your car will not track right. Front wheel only. Done.

Nope, never had mine apart

You have two bolts on your strut, no?

With a little bit of play, you can bring the top bolt in and the bottom bolt out. Like I said, it's minimal. You'll get maybe 1/4 degree or so.

For all intents and purposes, it is not adjustable. Technically though, there is a minor degree of adjustability

Stop talking until you go out and look at what you are saying. FYI, the shock bolts to the bottom of the beam, no spindle. The axle carrier is welded to the beam. You can move the shock all you want, all you will do is ruin the geometry of the shock movement.

But hey, what do i know.

Yeah moving the shock doesnt angle the wheel whatsoever its attached to a solid piece of metal.

Thanks squirlz....

yeah, I was thinking b13
