Alligment Question
 

I got my car allign after lowering it 1.5" but the car still pulls to tho left. could it be the camber. would camber offset make your car pull to one side?

camber shouldnt do it but if somehow one side set higher or lower then the other then the camber would be different and it could pull the car to one side or the other

Should I take it back to firestone do you think they'll be able to fix the problem

Chances are almost 100% that your car can't be aligned perfectly because of the lowerering springs. First, check your tire pressure and make sure it is at the right level. If that doesn't help, take it back and find out which alighnment method they use. I am thinking they are going to tell you what I said in the first line of this post.

yeah, they only allign it to stock specs and when you lower your car it's not at stock specs. the wheels are angled in a little on top so your tires or at least my tires wear out on one side faster than the other and if you take them off you can see the difference

It is the camber. i threw on a camber kit yesterday and eyed my alignment (for now) and had my car dropped pretty low too- now it doesn't pull at all cuz the tires are straight.

If I put on my alignment kit will it throw off my alignment even though the tires will be straight[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

I am an alligment tech! Well anyway on the 7th Gens the Front toe/camber is adjustable, caster is not adjustable. For the Rear only the toe is adjustable. For your question on what would make the car pull to the right? Well if the caster is not even, the car will pull toward the more negative side of caster. As for camber if they have the front right side with more positive camber, then it would pull to the right. As for toe, if you have more front toe out on the right it would pull to the right. Now for the rear, the toe is all that is adjustable. For the car to pull to the right the rear left side could have more toe out than the right. Now for the real deal. You always start with the rear. Make your toe and camber adjustment. Then you get your Thrust angle. Then you go to the front and make your camber adjustment, followed by the caster adjustment. Then you finish up with the front toe adjustment. If you need more camber adjustment in the front for the 7th gen. You can get a special bolt from the Dealer. You will need two of them one for each side. But for your real answer on your pull to the right, if it is just a gradual pull over a 1/4 mile, it might just be the crown of the road. So your car is opperating as designed.

Wow! Thanks.

This bolt that you are talking about what is it called?
