i just finished adjusting my rear camber arms and the rear slides/fishtails as if my tires are wet.

could it be possible that maybe one tire is slightly positive and the other is slightly negative which causes it to swirve? please help!

Do you have an open diff? My car always pulls to the right when I punch it

yeah i have an open diff. but im not talking about just pulling one side. it fishtails like crazy probably starting around 12mph and up

Check your toe.

so do i just set both my tires just little bit more negative? sorry i don't understand the toe

if it slides both way camber probaly isnt your problem.. if ur sliding just one way thats a possibililty. however toe is how much the wheel points to the left or right. toe is really important in the front, does affect the rear but will just wear out your tire unevenly. cant really feel it unless its off horribly...

my car does this too. Open diff. Camber and toe componets coming in tomorrow so I think an alignment will help. Might wanna do the same.

correct me if im wrong, but isnt it that sometimes when you mess with your camber, your toe can get messed up too?

yeah i meant the front toe though. so do you think that if i just adjust my camber back to what it was then the toe will adjust back into the place it originally was?

go get a alignment.
its like $49 with a 90 day protection plan thingy.. ie if you say its off they will fit it.

Install you arms in 3 weeks go back and have aligned. its shady and kinda scummy but you can do it. I got friends to have do it. just a fyi ..lol.

lol are you saying to take off my arms and get alignment then come back 3 weeks later with them on and get it realigned?

i thought that if you get alignment they adjust your arms as well

get an alignment..

I usually eyeball it best I can than go and get an alignment

when you installed the arms, did you make them the same size as the arms you took off?
