Alignment Trouble!

[Dkouki]

Soo i pretty much looked at the majority of peoples specs for their alignment and i am pretty much in the ballpark but i dont understand why my car still wants to kinda wander off to the other side of the road..any factors that can play into this effect?

Current Specs:

Front

CAmber: -3
Caster: .6
Toe: .22

Rear

Camber: -2
Toe.27

what is the condition of your bushings? sloppy or worn out bushings can cause that problem.
next could be your steering rack bushings. is the slop limited to the front end or just rear end or both...
next is the actual bolts and bolt holes. wallowed out holes and bolts not tight enough could be the issue.
start checking that out and see what everything looks like.

hmm i had no idea this could affect that. im sure they arent in good condition since the car is 13 years old haha

I assume that's actually +6 caster and not +.6

front toe also seems like alot (mine's -.05) but idk

[nieko]

your toe is ridiculous brooo

stock rear is .11 wouldnt go more than that.

front i would set at 0. or -.05 something very minimal.

your toe in ridiculousness is what is causing your wandering bro.

haha sorry guys i read the sheet wrong lol. i was reading "Cross Caster" and "Total Toe"
soo actually the caster is 6.8 and the Toe is .10

[240_fun]

.1 is still alot of toe. it should be less than 0

[Dkouki]

how could you modify this in order to get that number?

[240_fun]

you dont have to modify anything just get a proper alignment...

[nieko]

what do you mean less than 0...

you dont want toe out in the rear moron lol.

i mean yeah itll will kick out STUPID easy but it will feel squirly and you wont have shit for girp.

in the front, yea you want a little toe out imo

That isn't perfect, but there's nothing in that alignment that would constitute "wander". My money is on leaking/blown tension rod bushings.

Tire wear will affect "wondering" as in uneven wear or just old worn out tires. Also uneven tire pressure in the front.

Tires are brand new so we can factor that out. Also i hear a random clunking noise when im driving but this is only sometimes which is weird. Sometimes i am convinced its the coilovers but i thought the sound would be consistent if it was a blown damper. another guy said that it possibly sounds like an inner tie rod but i dont want to buy more parts and it not fix the problem

To check your tie rods jack up the front and check shake the tire side to side as if you are abruptly trying to turn the wheels. if you feel any clunking or any play its you tie rods. Doesn't really matter which just replace them all since stock sucks. If your looking for just something better than stock go Tein. If you need bumpsteer adjustment and/or you are just baller enough to drop mad cash, go SPL outer and z33 inner. Personally i had play in my outer tie rod and am ordering my Tein inner and outers today from FRsport.
