How far did you drive it like that?!

Ok so I got my springs fixed and rear rotors installed

The next day I see that to drive straight I have to tilt my steering wheel to the left
(So instead of the Z on the steering wheel being at a 12 o'clock position it's at a 1030 11 o'clock position to drive straight)

I take it to the dealer to get aligned and see if any work needed to be done if it could be done under warranty (as far as the steering wheel being crooked to drive straight)

He aligns the car but tells me he can only align the bottom part toes and the steering wheel sometimes will not be straight because they can't get it to be on the machine

He says if I want to align the top part camber bolts I have to buy some and he will do them

My question is doesn't my car have these already
I searched google and see them on there

Do the Oem ones not adjust or is he just trying to get one past me

The car is aligned according to him but it still pulls to the right

I attached the alignment sheets

He says don't buy aftermarket so he can warranty the work

I'm a little skeptical and debating what to do

Any suggestions would be great

That guy is full of ****. Take your car to an outside shop to get it aligned, our car already have camber adjustments from the factory. Some people are able to get back to oem camber settings while some will need to get aftermarket camber arms.

Did a little search
Is this correct
I will only need the rear camber kit on swift springs

I see here the eom ones are not adjustable but do I need these or just the rears
And what are safe specs for daily driving lowered on swift springs

Give it a few months and the springs will settle as long as you drive it and not garage it. :tiphat:

what did they do? lol

i'm scared for your Z. quit letting idiots molest it.

fl350z 09-29-2013 05:59 AM

I'm not sure!!! LoL

That's why I would like to fix the situation and am relying on the forum for so guidance

I went to a reliable shop first and then the dealer I figured they should know what to do

Again any input is GREATLY appreciated

I'm going to do some more research in the mean time

rear camber is adjustable. it looks like they really didn't do **** to be honest. the front can be adjusted slightly too if they play around with it. you want left and right camber to be even. how much camber will be a preference but shooting for the minimum values here isn't a bad place to start. take it to a place that knows what they're doing and tell them what you want. also, wait a week before you go in to let the springs settle.
