Wow, that fuel dampner thing has got to suck. How'd that happen anyway?

You're getting ripped off because I do 4 wheel alignments for 65.:nono:

I not getting ripped off. I got a friend that lets me use his alignment rack to let me work my own alignments. The average I see advertised are the 'Lifetime alignments' from Firestone, Goodyear, ETC.

yea screw getting it done Im a little tight on money considering I just payed for college so If can do it myself I rather just do it, I dont mind if it a little off spec, as long as the car drives straight and the tires wear better compared to my last set, like I said Im almost certain any kind of adjustment well help it more than what its at now. Plus last alignment i got done the f**k my tie rods over on my truck so yea rather just get it as close as I can.

if you have time then just go out there and jack that bitch up! but mark where the eccentrics were BEFORE you start to mess with it, that way you always have a mark to 'fall back on'

most shops wont touch my supra because who ever did the alignment before i got the car bent the tabs in the rear... but my toe in is ok... and yeah, i have horrible camber wear.... i hate PO...

You'll have horrible Camber if it's lowered in the rear.....

Once lowered past a certain height you can either get Toe correct or Camber correct but not both.

I got around this by CutNshutting 4 lower transverse arms to make a pair 15mm longer and this gets the adjusters back in the middle of their range and allows perfect Camber/Toe settings.

Yep longer sorts it Greg.

ok I see cool, Im pretty sure im past that point your taking about, i really like the car low, I know i wont be able to reach perfect specs, but i can at least get close correct? Just so the wear pattern isnt so drastic on one side of the tire.

Best advice: Take it to an alignment shop, and have it done correctly.

If not, you need to read this: DIY Alignment. Good information there, that might help you a bit.

Nope as I said you can have 1 (one) correct or both crap.
