Hey guys,
I recently lowered my car with eibach

 

Check your tire pressures to make sure they're even; especially the rears.

If that doesn't work try and see if your alignment technician can get the rear toe to be even on both sides.

If that still doesn't work, you might have something called "radial pull". It happens due to the design of the tread of some types of tires. A possible cure for radial pull is to have your tires dismounted and swapped from left to right.

 

how about checking the specs on the rear camber? i work at a shop and align my own car and i know off the top of my head the maximum rear camber should be is -1.7 degrees on both sides for an ap1. i live in the usa so maybe your specs are different. i also get the same thing when i let off the throttle after going WOT. it just jerks to the side a little. i haven't bothered with it because everything handles fine with normal driving and the tires have no abnormal wear

 

-2.0ish is fine in the rear. That's actually what the UK alignment calls for (which i'm running right now) and it's fine. There are people here running close to -3 to clear super low offset setups. However, I just realized his camber in the rear is a bit lopsided. -2.0 compared to -2.3. Could someone else please chime in because I don't know if a .3 difference in camber is enough to cause the type of pulling he has.

 

im running -3.xx degree camber in the rear and its chewing the crap out of my tires.. x_x best bet is probably the air pressure in the rear tires... my alignment used to be completely and totally off (i mean camber, caster, and toe were all RED on the scanner) and it used to pull to the left whenever i shifted at 9k meaning the rear end would kick out during vtec shifts and after getting an alignment, it fixed the entire problem...

btw, here is a shot of my -3.XX degree camber i need new tires soon.

 

Thanks guys for your replies.

What I don't know is if I should adjust the specs with me on the car, because the second time I was doing the alignment, if I stood out of the car, the difference between the two sides would change a lot:
me on the car = Camber -0.34

 

I would be less concerned about camber. Toe is what is more likely to make your car pull, so check that.

But always check your tire pressure first. This is normally the main cause for situations like this.

 

Ah yes..the dreaded "radial pull"....

Also, in the southern menisphere your car will pull to the left under WOT (and toilets flush clockwise).
