Hey there,

Ive had my non hicas swap done for a few weeks useing a JDM subframe. right away i noticed something funny while driving in the rain the car tends to want to spin itself out. so i checked out my rear wheels and they have quite the toe in on both sides. its scrubbing the tire while i drive straight, so much so that it wore my tire to the belts pretty quickly

i never read anything that said anyone had a problem with this

i so again jdm 180sx subframe in a 240sx...why would this be happening..and no its not bent or anything. i tired the camber bolt adjudtment..but nothing changed with the toe (long shot)..set up is all stock arms used from the JDM subframe.

please help!

also i have NOT had an alignment yet...dunno if that will change anything tough with this?

I dont know why its doing it but after market suspension pieces in the rear (especially the toe arms) will fix your problem as long as it isnt too bad.

u need an alignment... you just swapped out your entire subframe, at the very least you should get an alignment.

the toe rod has it's own adjustment nut - adjusting the camber bolt doesn't do anything much w/ toe.
