okay i searched the threads and couldnt find anything about this....
i am replacing the parts on my front suspension that got damaged when i understeered and ran into a curb head on....the lower arm (thing that connects to the tension rod) was bent like crazy and the right side tension rodwas cracked and the tension rod bracket was bent....i got some s14 parts from my friend.....and saw that the tension rod was a different size...but the lower arms looked about the same so me and my friend put em on that night....after we dropped teh car back down the camber on both sides was terrible....at least 5 degrees of camber....and the left side was back centered (before both of the wheels were moved backwards about an inch).....and the right side of the front suspension is still moved back a little bit....im guessing i need to replace the tension rod and the bracket to recenter the wheel and is the camber from the s14 parts i put in since the s14 has a wider body than the s13.....well let me know soon cuz im pickin up some lower arms for the s13 today and dont want to waste my money if the s14 and s13 parts are interchangeable because that would mean it is a different problem than the lower arms
any help is appreciated
thanks
