how often do you guys realign??

Well damn, 3 autox events at six runs a peice and daily driving that is at times as hard as autox has taken its toll on something. I have noticed the car pushing a bit more in corners (not much more), but damn driving on a uneven roadway, or in the rain has become downright insane. There are times that my car catches a rut, a puddle, worse yet a puddle filled rut and I can't deep the fvcker on the road. I checked the tires and they look great (just got them in the spring) so I think I am going to get it realigned. Is it normal to have to get a realignment after 3 months and 3 events?

if you have camber bolts I'm not surprised. Those little bastards move around a lot. Get the car on the rack, see what it says.
I do mine whenever I feel like playing with it... but not more than 3 times a year.
Mine does a pretty good job holding settings, but usually I make small changes.


Come to think of it... Rob, if you read this, I'm doing my rear alignment at your place on saturday... hope you don't mind

Yes I have the bolts on the front and SPC camber kit on the back. Is there anyway to keep them from moving?

Theres lots or attempts, none of which I know work. Some people have slobbered wet paint on the strut bracket then torqued the bolts down and painted over the bolt heads. It may work a little bit, others have tried glue and stuff, but I wouldn't go there. Just torque them to heck, or buy a set of camber plates.
