Something must be wrong with my front suspension. I can’t get proper camber,
I have to much positive camber. I took my car to an alignment shop after I
had rebuilt the suspension and installed new shocks. The alignment shop told
me that would need a bunch more shims to get the proper camber. Even with all
the shims I made up they couldn’t get the lower wishbone out far enough
because they ran out of bolt. On the rear of the left wishbone I’ve got about
5/8” of shims.
What am I missing here? Seems like there really isn’t that much to goof up
on. Does it have to do with the shocks I had installed? The installed height
from the bottom of the bottom cup to the top of the top cup is 9 inches. Is
this the dimension that my manual lists as the “fitted length (test load)”
equaling ~8.06”? Would that make a difference?
The shock is the only thing I can think of because there doesn’t seem to be
any other room for error. I did install a swing spring in the rear, possibly
lowering the rear a tiny bit but I can’t see that effecting the front this
much.
