[s-cars] Strange steering response

[Ivan Demkovitch]

Ok.. Bad news. Just checked tires - they gone. Front tires gone on inside completely.

It looks like camber, but here is a question..
1. I did "Igor plates" modification. There is no difference between right and left and they go only 1 way. So, I can't screw up that one.
2. On alignment "sheet" all numbers good.

Car rides on freshly re-valved bilsteins and new H&R's. Tires is not wide by any means. This is my winter all-season 15 inch rims...

I'm taking car back to that shop tonight. I'm soooo mad. It was $250 alignment in "one of the best" places. *&)(*

Ivan.

Hi Ivan,

It may be they adjusted your rack when doing the alignment.  Check  
Scott's write-up on his web site for removing
the "play" in the steering.  You may need to adjust yours the other  
way.  I haven't done this on my cars, but the
write-up is here:
