Alignment

Does anyone know if our front end alignment is adjustable? I know alot of FWD cars cant be adjusted and you have to replace components. I hit a curb, not to hard, but enuf to scratch my rim and the car pulls to the left slightly. Im gonna look into an alignment tmrw.

our front end is fully adjustable. I believe the rear is limited on camber.

the front can do every thing but camber. All cars are adjustable for toe.

So it's possible to do it yourself without going to a shop?... is there a DIY somewhere for this? I'll be switching over to coilovers in a few days after I get them from cleantl69.

technically yes, but you will never get it very accurate and may do more harm than good. Its not recommended. Just bring it in. .10 of toe can cause lots of tire wear and the car to be darty. Can you accurately get .20deg or less without a machine to help??? probably not

or even take the chance that dealerships won't do any alignment on your car because it's lowered.
