Build Thread Enola- Finishing touches

It maybe but what wideband are you using nowadays? I use the LC-2

Its an AEM x series, thing worked flawlessly for a year and a half. out of the blue it started this. luckily i was able to get the car about 98% tuned. for now i have the EGO correction disabled car still drives wonderfully.
The MTXL turned me away from innovate but i see many people have trouble free service out of the seperate wb controllers and gauge units... may have to consider one in the future.

I'm kidding.....but I gotta be skeptical of a bad alignment considering that these guys do alignments all day everyday.
The last car that I was in that darted all over the road was cured when it was aligned properly though,..so maybe you got a rookie in training doing yours.
Take it back.

Trust me i am they said the only thing that needed adjustment was the tow.... now the wheel is not centered when driving straight and it appears the tow is (positive??) front of the tires are out farther out i believe from my limited knowledge this causes the car to corner faster but has less stability on the highway. Sketchy when trying to navigate interstate traffic while drinking coffee.

Ahem.....it's "toe".

The front tires need to be pointing in. Pigeon toe'd slightly. When I took the monster to the shop, I'd had the front of the tires ( the toe) 1/8" narrower than the heel on my initial settings, and the tire itself was dead vertical. I believe they left them real close to that, only needing to adjust for center slightly.

 

[a91what]

Gotcha they need to fix the toe thanks for the explanation Mike

Did they give you the printout when the alignment was complete?
Has really been a year and half since you changed your wb ? Really doesn’t seem that long ago you changed it out

Hmmm... I don't remember changing my wife.... but the wideband I did change. I don't remember exactly how long but it was a good amount of time ago. I'm really annoyed about it.

I would do the sensor calibration again if it was me. It's free and if it works then yay!!!

That,s correct on toe adjustment

Did ya know,that on an iPhone-if you misspell wide band,it auto corrects to wife and....Oh well,is what it is. Good luck with your alignment

 

[General karthief]

His wife is going to change him if he don't get to work on that hippy van of hers soon!

 

[a91what]

Sounds like the didn't center the wheel and adjust toe based on that. If they set toe out, that would cause the car to dart around. Usually rwd cars are set to toe in so the the deflection of the bushings as the car goes straight makes the wheels point straight.

You can also dial in some extra caster to get some more stability at highest speed. The fox caster is non adjustable unless you get aftermarket c/c plates.

Yeah fully adjustable cc plates and coilovers. They will see me soon no doubt.

You should try and see if they will adjust per MMs recommended street car specs.

You can frankenstang your engine you can string line that frontend back in shape

 

[a91what]

Just ordered the heater core and an evap core figure I'm not doing this twice in the same year. For now I'm going to bypass the core so I can take it up to have the alignment fixed (again) on Wednesday morning.

This time I'm going to see if they will set it to the mm specs.

Just jump in head first...it may for cold for a sec, but you will be just fine

... or you will crash and burn in some horrific and disfiguring accident that will only make you WISH you had died.



Hopefully, you get A.
