Problem with alignment on my b13.
hey guys, i have a little situation with my b13 and the alignment in the rear. i previously had drums brakes then upgraded to ser disk brakes, now my alignment is off in the rear and my mechanic is saying that i gotta change the bolts on the control arms before it can get align back. he is also saying that the bolts on the car right now is no good because i install them wrong? does this make sense?

I had a four door, not to hot, but it passes. Look my name up and you will see. Oh, and its 11.5 and i had no alignment probs in the rear of a four door.

I dont think there is an adjustment side on those bolts but im not a b13 expert for rear suspension.

The adjustment is on the chassis side. Which bolts exactly is the mechanic saying you need to replace?
Do you have the eccentric bolts on the chassis side like you should?

He said The bolts that holds the Rear control arms to the chassis. Ben I don't know if the guy who install the rear brakes used back eccentric bolts or if he just put any regular bolts like a dumb ass.
What do I have to look for to see if it's eccentric bolts??

The eccentric bolts will look like this. They are not normal bolts. The shaft is off center, and they have markings on the washer-looking ends. THey also have a groove cut out of the length of the shaft, and the thick washer used on the nut end has a key that fits into the slot cut down the length of the shaft.

I did the rear conversion just like you did, but only changed the bottoms. I didnt see a need to mess with the top stuff.
