I have done all the bushings and BMR toe arms, lower control arms and Trailing arms. Had the car handling great... Changed out the rear lower control arms and now the car handles like crap..

I am not 100% sure the alignment got messed up when we changed out the Rear lower control arms or not. I took it to like 5 different places around SD and everyone looked at me like I had somthing wrong with me and said we can not do the alignment, the one person that can is only open M-F and I dont know when I will be able to go up to have him look at it due to working, its like 1 1/2 to his shop each way.

soo fustrated..

one idiot asked me why did they zip tie the ABS line to the toe arms, I was like really???

I was like drop the car I need to get out of here..

You need to get the car aligned. Really should have done it right after the install. But yea, get an alignment and she should ride must better.

Did you take it to Clarence Brown in Kearny Mesa? They aligned my SS after I installed Pfadt lowering springs/sway bars. Over 25K miles now and it handles great and the tires are all wearing very evenly.

Looks like you have a bunch of killer parts on there. If we could be of any assistance please let us know. We have decades of experience with suspensions and have done insane amounts of work to our own shop 5th Gen Camaro.

We are in Orange County but set up everything from new Camaro's to full World Challenge comp cars on our new Snap-On laser alignment system. We also can help corner balance the car and include full digital print outs for frame and chassis set up.

Marine1991,

Have you had your 5th Gen aligned and your problem is resolved?

Yes very happy with it now...

That's a nice looking pic there.

Toe rods, trailing arms, control arms, Hotchkis chassis brace, powdercoated calipers, stainless lines, and looks like cradle inserts.

Very nice indeed!
