Anyone who knows about steering and alignment is greatly appreciated.


Recently I installed vorshlag camber plates, and got an alignment at a local Wheelworks on their Hunter Alignment system.

Previously my set up was at -1.3 camber and .12 toe, and it had no problems with driving/steering.

Now with camber plates installed, -2.8 camber and .12 toe. (height is same for both)

(caster went from 7.6 to 7.0)

Now when I drive, when I make a right hand turn and then drive straight, it pulls to the right. When I make a left hand turn and then drive straight, it pulls to the left.

I've called Wheelworks, and they could not give me a reason over the phone but said to just take it in. They had told me that adjustment to our cars are only camber and toe. I called another shop and they could not tell me the reasoning.

Can anyone who knows about alignment and steering chime in on your thoughts? Greatly appreciated, thanks.

the caster has 3 setting, and set to stock as possible. which is all the way forward on the camber plates, most center setting to stock. But I cam see what you are saying about the camber. I've seen a lot of people have -2 or more on camber with no ill affect. some other member said that if the shocks are binding, it can cause the steering to stick.

Thanks Trackrat for your help.

thanks for your input, any other factor causing steering pull besides camber. and anything else that can fix the problem?

found and fixed the problem, tophat holding the spring(progressive style spring from kw v2) was binding against one of the bolt of camber plate. Freed it up and now is good.

both side turn with no binding, and car drives straight after turning. thanks for your help trackrat.
