I am haveing a problem with the front tires, they are not lineing up strate.
When the driver side is strate the passenger side is kick in. I am useing 96 spindes
and brakes. I know that they put the wheels out 8 mm so i ajusted the tir rods out
8 mm and it is still doing it. Can i ajust one side out and let it go or is that not good


Thanks

kevin

You definately have to have an alignment. When changing the spindles to either 94-95 or the 96 you can't drive the car unless you adjust the crap out of them and then thats just to get it to the alignment shop.

In the process of doing the same thing. Eye it so you can drive the car and then drive to the closest alignment shop.

You need to turn them out 9 to 12 turns to get you to the alignment shop.
