2000 Honda Civic

I never had a problem with my car veering to one side or another but, my camber was off. So, OL and I installed a camber kit. After the kit was installed the car started pulling to the right way bad while driving. After I noticed that I went and got the alignment done. They fixed the alignment, toe, etc. and confirmed that the camber kit had since corrected the camber. Even after the alignment was done though it didn't change the pull at all.

What the hell else would be causing the car to pull to the right?

have you checked for any blown shocks or anything? what camber kit do you have? some, like skunk2, have been known to slip very easily.

Try checking ur tire pressure or a grabbing caliper on ur brake.

Hasn't slipped. I just jacked it last night to check. I made sure everything was tight. Tire pressure is fine too. No grabbing brakes. Nothing. It is so d a m n weird.

check if any of your shocks are blown, push down on the car over the wheels and if it bounces right back then the shock is fine, if it goes down and comes back up really slow, then its blown.

I'm thinking Btown is right. Both sides still kick back up pretty quick though. With it being so low wouldn't the springs just push each side back up?

I just checked, I think Btown is right. There is a wheel gap difference between the two sides. Hmm. New shocks for me. Think I'll get some Tokico's.

did you check each shock individually, or just push on the front of the car? you're supposed to push down on the fender right over the shock so that's the only one compressing.

.... push your shock two to three times, if it bounces and keeps bouncing then your shock is shot. If it returns to it's normal spot without bouncing then the shock is fine....

Yeah, I did them individually... :\

BnLake · « **Reply #10 on:** 07:13PM 03/03/2004 »

oops scratch what I wrote. I thought he ment bounce as in continually bounce which would be incorrect.

and staats. EAT A d!ck!

Damon i have got it i have been thinking about this for hours now and i bet you have a blown shock!!!! Test it by pushin over the wheels and if it bounces and stops there fine but if they keep bouncing there done. Im a genius no one thought of that s h i t

did any bounce or have a delayed rebound?

i hear tokico whites go wonderfully with Skunk2 coilover sleeves.
