I woudn't drive it with loose bolts. You don't want your suspension to fall off on the way to the alignment shop. Make sure to find an alignment shop that knows what you are talking about when you say you want them to time the bushings. At least they should be familiar with the process if they use different terminology. If they say it's not necessary and won't make a difference....find another shop. Be prepared to pay more money than just a regular alignment. There is more work involved with timing the bushings.

My car pulls hard to the right after three times to the alignment shop. Guys says he got them to exactly match the factory settings which doesnt seem right to me. Can anyone please help? Also, a rattle from the passenger rear when the rear suspension goes over a bump. Could this be the issue for the pulling?
Thanks |

I shamefully say stock pirellis. I don't really want to lose that on road handling. I just want to get ride of the wheel hop. I have BMR TR's and Toe rods and pedders diff bushings and TR bushings. I want to get cradle bushings but their not in the budget right now.

Well start my guess is alignment will help. Get to the local alignment shop and have them dial in just a bit of toe in .05. Have them set your rear camber to the least amount of negative camber possible. These adjustments will square up your rear toe and put maximum rubber to the track surface. As a by product redducing rear camber will help reduce understeer. When you can, get the inserts and you should be good to go. |
