So yesterday I put my god speed camber arms on(came with the car). The toe was way off so I got a alignment today. Camber is set at -6 degrees and after adjustments toe was -.5. I have toe arms to out on but the shop would not put them on. So my wife is driving the car and she calls me freaking out saying that it feels as if the car is wanting to slide on her in turns. Can this be because of a bad camber arm or the toe not being set to the proper setting?

 

Post a pic of your alignment sheet.

 

I didn't even see I had it until you asked. Looks like he messed with my camber too. It was -6 all the way around

 

. There you go

 

This is -3. You are telling me you are doubling that? That seems like a wacky camber setting.

 

I am on air ride with flared fenders. I have that camber so when I air out it will tuck in the fender well

 

Interesting! Odd your shop wouldn't drill out toe bolts, the shop I went to specifically let me know if I had any aftermarket parts to put on they would have to make a permanent modification by drilling... (doing it right).

 

This guy literally did not seem like he wanted to help me out at all and was trying to tell me that I need to put the camber back to stock. I know people run big camber with no problems so this is confusing me.

 

Yeah he didn't know what he was doing. Where are you located maybe we can help you find a close by specialist. In Ohio we have Performance Alignment, Kentucky has Dynosty. Not sure about what part of Nor Carol your at.

 

Where do I start...

First, do not install those toe arms. Toe arms are the worst way to correct toe. Drill out the toe bolt hole and adjust properly.

Second, Godspeed arms are pooty. How did you even get -6 degrees camber? That is ridiculous. Your camber should be at about -1.4. When you have all that camber your car is only riding on like 3" of tire, so of course the rear wants to break loose. You've got 3500lbs riding on the contacts patch of a bicycle tire.

 

Yea and I do not know of a specialist around here. I live in winston salem nc

 

I believe it has been drilled out already but they can probably go more. And I have a lot more contact then that. 285/35 tire on a 11inch wide

 

I understand, but pulling the inside top of the tire in that far, you pull the outside bottom of the tire off the ground. It may be touching the ground, but believe me it is not doing anything because the pressure and weight of the car is all concentrated on the inside bottom of the tire.

 

^This.

 

I know what you are saying. I have had other big body cars with more camber and friends with sedans with around -8 camber with no problems. So it can be done with no swaying once the toe is fixed
