allinemenet issues
My right front wheel is out of camber -1.1% and caster -1.2%. What could cause this. I had summer tires on it (big/wide) and it didn't do it to bad. But small summer tires, it pulls hard to the left. I was told it could be that the frame is bent, on the caster. Or its a bent upper or lower A-arm. What is your suggestion? Just go get a full complete set and repalce all of it? Or would the frame be and issue.
If you look at the wheels one side does have more of a gap from the tire to the fender....

ya most likely been in a accident... could be bent upper control arm or lower control arm or maybe even the hub section....
camber can be fixed by just buying adjustable upper control arms. might help the caster also... just depends whats bent... problem is finding out whats really bent since it doesnt take much of a bend to throw off the caster and camber!
my old civic had bad caster and camber, but i just bought some WICKED upper control arms for the front and it fixed the camber problem but not the caster problem...
BUT i was able to fix the caster.... but by accident.LOL having fun in the winter and spun around in a parking lot and hit the curb spining backwards just lightly... just enough to bust my hubcap but it actually bent the caster back within spec.LOL

All i can say is that, Right front is -1.1 on the camber
Right front caster is -1.2
If an after market camber kit and caster kit goes one inch on both. I would be screwd because im just over 2inch from being in the limits. I may just buy a whole new front section. Its easy to do. It did do it a bit before the new wheels. But with my winter tires its bad.

well I had it looked at they said it needas a cambper kit. But im now thinking I may have a stuck break, on the driver side. Grr Ill firgure this out. IT has not been wrecked by me. But I did replace both shafts to the tranny.
