TSW Nurburgring wheels 315/35/20 tires Pfadt trailing arms & tie rods sway bars. Pedders street 1 package. After install the left rear wheel sticks
out 1/4 inch more then the right wheel .? Is this from the wheel alignment . it was not that way before suspension mods. Seems to drive fine.

It would only be alignment if it were way off. The cradle is located with pins so its not off center. My guess would be the offsets of the wheels should be investigated if those are new too. Then confirm length of arms are equal on each side and alignment numbers.

Not new wheels they been on for some time. Yes they have aggressive offsets But both wheels use to be flush with fender now on side is in a tad (1/8 inch ) other side sticks out ?( 1/4 inch.)

Sounds like the camber is off to me. Have you had it aligned yet?

Yes they said the toe is maxed out but with in specs.
And upgrades are from you guys. Seems to drive
Fine . You have to look real hard to tell. Like I said .200 to .250 difference
One side to the other. Should I be concern ?

Synner · 04-22-2013, 04:17 PM

Get the printout.

skar · 04-22-2013, 04:42 PM

It was the toe that was maxed out but in specs.
The guy who did the install did it at his house and he took
It to ? For the alignment . And yes I trust his work.

Post up some pictures taken from above looking down at the tire, both sides. Then from the side taken from the back of the car, about a foot or two off the corner of the rear bumper, so we can see the camber of the rear wheels. Then one from the rear of the car down the side, both sides again, from ground level.

With these pictures we should be able to see what kind of camber the rear tires have and whether or not they match side to side. If it is off with these views it will be noticeable.

? not sure.

To me, it looks like your camber is off just like Tyler said.

Did you get the printout of your specs when it was aligned? If not I would be suspect and ask for it. If it can not be produced, and even if it can, I would take it back and have the alignment double checked or flat out redone.

Also, did you ask for a performance street alignment, track specs or a combo of both?

Taken from the Pedders 5th Gen Suspension-The Book.

That is my 2 cents, no change required.

Is it just me or is the driver side higher?

skar · 05-05-2013, 07:16 AM

Had the car redone at Rodgers Chevrolet with pedders street specs and the left rear still
Sticks out 1/4 inch .They have state of the art hunter alignment machine.
Also retimed the bushings . Must be the way the axle is mounted to the frame ?

Flip the rear wheels side to side. Any change?
