I need help with suspension/tie rod
I need help with suspension/tie rod
alright......i have a 2001 honda civic ex coupe
I recently had to change out the tie rod ends on the car. To those you who have done it, once you take it off the strut, you can turn the tie rod end 360 degrees. I think that i might have done this a couple of times. Plus, the passenger side tie rod was hard to take off so i know i turn it a couple of times.
My question is, by turning the tie rod arm, does that do anything to the suspension?
Cause right now, my driver side wheel look sto have a little negative camber, and my pass. side wheel has a little positive camber.
Can anyone answer my question.
Thanks in advance.

if your wheels look like they are off visually, before and after the alignment...you DID NOT get an alignment. Do you have a front camber kit? If yes, did they know you have it? The first time I lowered my car, I didn't tell the guy that i had front camber adjustment bolts, so he spent hours trying to figure it out.
