Hi guys anyone here a wheel aligner i had my r34 done today and it's now pulling to left and the guy sez that's coz I don't have enough camber adjustment and I'll have to get adjustable upper camber arms (have coilovers btw) I thought that the castor would determine more side pull if uneven or maybe really uneven camber I don't know his castor results seemed a little off to me same as camber which were closer before he adjusted them, I got new tyres on the front if that helps it did veer of to the left slightly but not as bad as now can someone please have a look at the results and confirm if it's been done ok thank you in advanced

The biggest change is that your front and rear toe angles were well wrong before, and now they are set "approximately" right but they are wrong because overall the settings of those, the front camber and caster and how bent the chassis is are making it not want to drive straight.

Take it to a proper suspension/wheel alignment specialist (not the tyre shop) and ask them to look at it and what it needs to fix it.

Take it to someone that knows what they're doing. They screwed up the camber that badly it's as bad as the experiences I have had with "tyre shops". I've done better adjusting blindly in my garage. Also the rear toe seems to be excessive.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
