the problem started when I sent the car to alignment with a friend.

He came back with the "final value" sheet, and I started to search for problems:


Observation: Straight line driving does not have any problem. when I hit the brake over 60, the car tends to move left, which is obvious

Questions:
If I just simply got SPc camber kit (I am not interested in auto-x, just DD), and adjust front camber, would it be a problem?

Would it be wise to replace rear-right (the defective) ball joint with also SPC (probably I would by one to the left also-to keep symmetry)?


all opinions are wellcome

 

Is the car lowered? If so, by how much?

 

yes,it is lowered. Tein s tech, 1inch all around

 

Hmmm...1" shouldn't be enough to cause a camber problem. Do you know if the car has been in an accident?

 

No frontal collision, but lots of bumps,holes on the roads, Damaged a rim last year.

 

You may need to swap out that left front lower control arm. It just isn't right that you can only get -.2deg camber.

At full ride height, I was able to get -2deg front neg camber. At 1" he should be able to get more than -.2deg.

So something must be wrong with the suspension.

 

Agreed, something on that side is bent.

 

What about braking behavior? would a difference of .3 btw Left and right cause the car to go left, only under braking?

is it common to have brake pressure differences btw L/R in S2k? Shall I check that?
