Went to get an alignment today and they tell me something is bent. The camber is 2 degrees out of spec (top of tire leaning in too much). I have the camber adjustment bolts already installed too. Their assumption was the strut is bent. I'll have to take out the bilstein hd insert and have a look. Should I suspect something other than the strut? The spindle is probably too beefy to bend I guess. On Feb 17, 2014 4:04 PM, "Larry Velez" <[email protected]> wrote:
