JA VOLVO Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 I have some problemswith my alignment of the front end since I bought this car. I am on IPD springs with Koni Street shocks. I have a great alignment shop and I trust them. I and many other people needing alignments on lowered cars use them here. the problem... when it is aligned to spec, the car pulls to the right pretty bad. The shop ended up doing a drive and tweak alignment (my name for it) in order to get it to drive without pulling. He said he had to give the front right a good amount of toe to prevent the pulling since it does not have a castor adjustment. Is this normal for these cars to have pulling issues or just mine? I am not that low. I know the right front was hit at some point before I owned it, but there is nothing obviously out of kilter that he saw. Would these castor/camber plates work to fix this issue ? Kaplhenke adjustable strut mount They are not cheap, but would be better than eating up tires over the long run. I need it for the castor adjustmet, not so much camber as I already have camber bolts. Has anyone used these with stock geometry springs? I know it says it will limit the adjustment, which makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ihatespeedbumps Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 I had my old S70 lowered on that combo and I didn't have any issues. Can you post your alignment sheet before they did the tweak aligment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JA VOLVO Posted September 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 I never got a sheet from them. They are a mom and pop shop and I always forget to ask. i will see if I can get one. Do you know what the specs should be? i was also going to go by and ask them if they thought the castor/camber plates would help before I bought as well.

Ihatespeedbumps Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Always get the alignment sheet. I don't know the specs off hand. I want to see what their measurements are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JA VOLVO Posted September 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Makes sense, I will get on from them. Never really thought about it before with other cars because I never had issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TryingBe Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Are thrust angle correct? Are the toe in the rear correct? The rear toe is adjustable. If you do buy the "p80 / p2 Adjustable Strut Mount" you'd want "595 USD + Shipping for the adjustable strut mounts & Luxe Steer™ for Stock Geometry Springs, (use this option if you are using stock springs, sport springs like IPD or TME, or KW coilovers)" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
