im going to "just tires" to get it aigned only cause they are open late. IM wondering if they can adjust the toe in without having to ---- with the tie rods? or if its that far off will they go the extra mile to adjust from the tie rods?

Re: Upgraded the 4 door to DA brakes..woo hoo!!! OH yeah i modified WhiteMikes IC
 
as far as i know, that's the only way to adjust the toe, how else do they get the tire to move in and out?

i asked the guy on the phone about it and he said " yeah we adjust for camber and cats" what ever the ---- that means...i know camber adjust but not to sure about the caster situation?

cast and camber is non adjustable on your car. only thing adjustable is the toe.

so unless i have a camber kit then they cant really adjust the camber, right? so your saying they can only adjust the toe in and thats it? would that explain the jerking sensation on the steerinf wheel when i drive over cracks and ----?

Spenser 03-23-2005 03:06 PM
Re: Upgraded the 4 door to DA brakes..woo hoo!!! OH yeah i modified WhiteMikes IC
 
hmm i dunno, I was told that the integra spindles ---- up your alignment really bad (toe, caster, and camber)

when my toe was out really really bad, my steering wheel word jerk around when one tie was on gravel, and the other tire was on dry pavement. because one tire was always trying to go straight, so if it had more traction then the other one, it would over power the less traction wheel and my steering wheel would turn and the car would jerk around, that was scary.

yeah thats what i'm experienceing right now...----! but im sure its cause of the TOe IN/Out is whats causing it. I mean its not like you cant adjust the tie rods. its not rocket science.

julio, don't nignog that ----. Take it to a shop with a computer alignment shindig. ---- the foos eyeballing that ----, took me old hatch to one, and thing still sucked. 40 bones wasted, so take it to the good places.

Oh and I believe whoever said it, toe is the only adustable thing. Camber isn't well if it was why would you need a camber kit to offset it?

oh and ---- is mad BLING yO!

oh and you bought new rotors? Why?

Good to know that ---- is put to good use. What are you gonna do with your dx ----?

Re: Upgraded the 4 door to DA brakes..woo hoo!!! OH yeah i modified WhiteMikes IC
 
well if just tires is the only place open to do it, have them do it, just make sure they have the computerized ----.

My experience:
eyeballers = 3 times and still shitty, got tired of the wait time so said ---- it.
computerized = one time and pretty much perfect

cast, camber, and toe is adjustable on all stock cars to a certain point, but if it's lowered, chances are they can't adjust it enough to correct it without a camber kit, and camber kit has nothing to do with cast. camber kits adjust camber, tie rods adjust toe, and i don't know what the ---- adjusts cast, but i know it's adjustable. btw, i just picked my car up, ------- 80 bucks for an alignment!!!!, but with the new ball joints, new tie rods, new rear lca's and a nice alilgnment, ---- rides like a brand new car ;D the guy told me that was the most fucked up toe he's ever seen, i believe it too b/c you could literally see one wheel pointing out like it was turned when the other wheel was straight, and the normal 12o'clock on the steering wheel was facing 3 o'clock just for me to drive straight :-\

jesus ---- man, camber and caster is non adjustable on his car, on the rear maybe if you do the hacked washer method to change the camber, but on the front, nope, all you can adjust is the toe.

Donald125 03-23-2005 06:40 PM
Re: Upgraded the 4 door to DA brakes..woo hoo!!! OH yeah i modified WhiteMikes IC
 
yea only toe is adjustable. (well civic at least)
adjustable with tie rod in the front and rear trailing arm in the back.

you need aftermarket camber kit to do camber and adjustable top mount to adjust Casters

I'm glad it didn't rain on the way to the shop bro'. Driving a car with crazy toe in is like ice skating at highway speeds.

oh, woop dee doo!

anyway got the 4 dizzle aligned yesturday after work. Cost me 69 for all four. The alignment guy was cool and we talked about my car and ----. He did a damm good job, thak god for computers ::gets on knees and prays::

the only thing that is bugging me now is some weird noise coming from the driver side. It sounds like somethins is loose. I'll have to check it when i get home today. Sounds like something is either binding or just off, i can feel it in the steering wheel a bit and when im driving. funny thing is that when there is load from accelarating it doesnt do it but when i let off the gas and just cruise it does the wobble thing.

Re: Upgraded the 4 door to DA brakes..woo hoo!!! OH yeah i modified WhiteMikes IC
 
fixed the wobbling..apparently the wheels didnt sit flush to the rotors and thats what caused it. everything is good now and the toe in was fixed at "Just Tires"

Cant wait for the track and all around DA brakes feel great!!!!!
