front driverside tire leaning in?

[coak13y]

so like the tittle says my front driver side tire is leaning inward what could cause this?

91 240
megan adjustable coilovers
stock rims

I was thinking Outer Tie Rods?
what do you guys think it could be?
(if needed I can get pics tomorrow)

[karl wasabi]

It's probably your camber bro. LOL. And if you can't figure that out you shouldn't be working on cars.

[coak13y]

na im pretty sure its not camber, but don't worry thats the first thing I plan on checking lol
but if im right and its not camber whats the next thing I should check, Tie Rods?

Give him a break Captian Obvious, Yea man if you have adjustable Front upper control arms you can adjust it pretty easy with the tire off.

Either way pull pull your wheel off to see what your dealing with.

Oh god! You're probably worse than the OP! 240s don't have front upper control arms!!! :picardfp::picardfp::picardfp::picardfp::picardfp: :picardfp:

Owned!!!!!!!


To the op: camber plates is really the only adjustment you have unless something is crazy damaged.

[ESmorz]

Kill yourself.

Please.

lol karl you are awesome!

[GRBimpreza]

muwahahaha i LOLed!

[Vatche]

listen coaky, before you get yourself in any more trouble, if your wheel is visibly different on one side than the other. and you dont know what is causing it, or how to fix it...

take it to a mechanic.







Most of the time when you change suspension pieces , it throws off the adjustment of your suspension. So you need an Alignment.

So your best bet is to go to an alignment shop. But the reason why I said mechanic is because you are still learning im assuming, and I would be afraid that if anything is wrong with your car you would have no idea. If any suspension pieces are old and worn, that could cause many issues. But leaning on the top of the wheel inward is a camber adjustment.

Thread of the year.

Hahaha fcken Karl. I bet its the proportioning valve that's causing one of your wheels to lean in more .... I'm just sayin ....

[Cpt. FailBoat]

Naw its totally the front upper control arm BRO, Lmfao. Check the headlights fluid. :facepalm:

[spooled240]

a happy meal would probably cheer it up

[coak13y]

Lmfao wow
I was asking what I should check next if it wasn't camber, just wanted to see what other people thought, I didnt want to run home and ask you guys when I could have just asked a night before.

btw I know how to adjust camber and do a self alignment, NOT saying the happy meal trick isnt a good idea lol

also no im not new to working on cars i've been doing it for years
this IS my first s13 tho

Thanks for all the responses helpful or not x)

Lean isn't really descriptive.. could it be your toe in/out?

I have a camber, caster, and toe gauge.. and it still takes me a good 5 hours to get my settings right. Putting the car up on blocks and back down and re-checking. Also, you just joined the forum and are running megan coils, and couldn't effectively describe your problem. So why would we think you can effectively fix it?

hmm good point...
but yea I know how to do the stuff
the only reason im sitting on Megans is cause I needed better than what I had(stock) but I also needed to fix things first before I put major money into the car so as soon as im done ill be doing the the suspension including getting better coilovers and selling the megans

Who told you that Megan coilovers are better then stock??? :tardrim:

[Edwin562]

My buddy Ernie and luke told me so.... ;)

[Walperstyle]

Corky, do you know the difference between camber and toe?

Even the best of us still go to get a laser alignment. Its the only way to be 100% positive. I found out my car's chassis is not perfect from an alignment shop. Ever think of that? Maybe it had an accident previously.

they sure fooled you :ddog:

[coak13y]

its most likely something simple, but my tire is leaning inward a good 1"-2" and I was told to change the tie Rods, ive had the car maybe a month and it wasn't leaning like a week or two ago.
