Default it doesnt get any worse

ok so today the malfunction indicator light came back on, i went to get alignment at ptuning and turns out i need rear camber/toe adjuster bolts, a rf camber adjuster bolt, rf caster adjuster bolt, basically everythings frozen and need to be replaced, my engines knocking, and i just got hit in the rear
im gonna go to carmax in the morning and hope they can give me new bolts and find whats causing the knocking after i yell at them
i check my oil everytime i fill gas or open my hood for any reason- always seemed to be ok
my camber in the rear is -2.5 so i gotta get it done soon...

-2.5 in the rear isn't toooo bad as long as you don't have crazy toe etc. I run mine at -2 in the back if I remember correctly. It always sucks when your car is broken though, good luck to you.

Yeah, I'm -2.5 in the rear and -2 up front. Toe is 1/8th out up front and 1/16th in in the back, IIRC.

Sucks about the car though, I've been trying to get some paint work finished up for 3 months now.

Artin, remember the first meet you came out too we were all talkin about how there is something odd about your s? It seem like it was dogged/wrecked/mistreated somehow prior to you owning it. I would talk to carmax about the TRUE history behind your car. I hope the best for ya bro!!! I had to replace my motor and trans within 1 month!!!!

Yea they wanna charge me 195 bucks to diagnose the issue and then do my alignment to see if my bolts are really frozen when I already paid ptuning for alignment!!!! And now I just got the flu and felt like shit these past few days. So while I'm in bed my s will be to.
