4kq rear end jumpimg!
Hello everyone....
My state of frustration and depression are beginning to grow....
I took the bent tie-rod off and replaced it and changed the othe front
tie-rod end....
The Alignment printout is as follows:
Left Front Right Front
Camber -0.9 degrees Camber -0.7 degrees
Caster -2.1 degrees (out) Caster -0.1 degrees (out)
Toe 0.03 degrees Toe 0.02 degrees
SAI 13.3 degrees SAI 13.2 degrees
Front
------------------------
Cross Camber -0.2 degrees
Cross Caster -2.1 degrees (out of spec)
Total Toe 0.05 degrees
Set Back -0.20
Left Rear Right Rear
Camber -1.0 degrees Camber -1.3 degrees
Toe 0.25 degrees Toe -0.04 degrees
Rear
________________________
Total Toe .21 degrees
Thrust Angle .15 degrees
All right, sorry for the WOB but I was p#ssed when I saw this...
I specifically asked for the cambe to be set on all 4 and when I called
after driving it and looking @ before and after printouts he simply said
Well.. it's in spec.....
I had to explain to him that these cars are very fussy and now I will
be going to the shop and doing my own alignment since these people are to
darn lazy to set to nominal settings...
He also said that the closer to 0 i go on rear camber the worse it will
handle....
Well. It feels like the rear end is going to swing around every time I hit
a bumb in the road....
The rear end felt great when there was a little more positive toe....
now it feels like it going to come off the car...
Please.... suggestions....
I can NOT afford to ruin brand new 16" Dunlops at the time...
I can't stand driving my baby when she'd all messed up either...
COuld rear balljoints/tir rods cause these same symptoms???
If so.... are the rear tie-rod end replacable or only whole unit???
TIA!
