Hey Guys, Like the title says, I just got done putting in my PA Racing K-member, A-Arms, Strange 10 way adjustable Coilover with 14" 175lb springs, and HPM caster camber plates. I have the coilovers set about 1 inch above the bottom to get the ride height that I want.

When I got to looking at it, the passenger side wheel is pointed to the right, and the drivers side is pretty straight. Do I just need to adjust the tie rod ends to straighten it back out, or is it possible something else could be off? I need to get it halfway driveable so I can get it to the alignment shop.
I used the Maximum Motorsports instructions to put in the K-Member, so it should be square. Everything seems to look good other than the way the wheels are facing. The tires are pretty well centered in the wheel well front and back, and they both seem to be tucked into the wheel well the same distance.

Thanks for the help.

Did you get an alignment?

Nope, not yet. I just got it on the ground from the jack stands and saw that the passenger side wheel was not pointed the same as the drivers side. I figure I need to get them close to the same so that I can drive it to the alignment shop.
It looks far enough out of wack that I don't want to try driving it.

I would say it is just an alignment issue. You could turn the one tie rod in a bit to straighten it out for the trip to the shop.

Cool, thanks guys.
I should have plenty of time to get it done. I just called the good alignment shop in town, and I won't be able to get it in for a week and a half.

I guess I'll just have to tear it down while I am waiting, and swap my bellhousing from the aluminum piece to the McLeod SFI certified one.

Wheni did mine i had a similar problem but it was very slight. I just threw my old pony wheels on the car with some old crappy tires and drove it to the alignment shop.
