Need some 210 VQZ help. Well I went to get get my alignment done and I was told that I need a left front camber and a new tie rod......I know I need a new tie rod but Im wondering if their is anyway I can get one of you guys to take a look at it for a second opinion. They printed me out the measurements from the alignment. The left side is where I got in my accident.... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

On thje fronts of our cars....we dont have much correction avalible to us without going aftermarket, but if you need a new tie arm that will correct the problem because you need to do an alignment after a tie rod is installed.....in a perfect world......since you are out of alignment are you pulling eiother way left or right....if not is it just toe? If its toe you will get wear on inside or outside of tiers....if ots alignment you will get uneven wear patches or cupping.

You might want to look at a camber kit if you are out of wack....but before that get you tie rod replaced....again pretty easy install, but you will still need an alignment.

Yeah I might be getting a rod soon from another member, but if anyone has one let me know. I was even looking at the tein rod but I think a stock one will do. As far as the pull the car would pull to the left and both tires wore down fast. One wore out on the outside and one wore out on the inside. I had them align one side to somewhat correct the alignment. Thanks for you help.

P.s. let me know if you guys got any spring installs going on this week.
