Strut problems - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #83045 4 posts Started by bruiseboy2
So I recently did struts all around my car, and now i noticed that my rear wheels are starting to camber. Im a little worried about my tread wearing strangely. Im not looking for the vdub camber look that is retarded lol. Any ideas? do i just need an alignment, or is something i can adjust.
Almost everytime you remove you suspension and reinstall your alignment will be off. Most shops can get by and bring it back to spec given the tech knows what he's doing. You can buy camber bolts to replace 1 strut bolt on each side to give a little more adjustability if needed. You can buy them at any Auto Parts store, Oreilly Auto Parts part # for our Specialty Products line is 81270 Click me

I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island
if you are worried about wear, you have to get an alignment anyway, everytime you remove your struts your toe gets f'ed which plays a big role in tire wear so as camber.

alright the alignment and new summer tires are now on and done. The car handles like a dream. Thanks for the advice on the alignment. The car is now braking alot better with all new rotors and calipers, and now turns with new struts.
