Alignment.

[NicholasJackson]

Im starting to finish up putting a new radiator support in. And the suspension is alllllll out of whack because of it. And now the wheels have excessive positive camber, it's pretty bad, now im not the best with suspension so is there anywhere i can start looking?


Thanks in advanced.

if you didn't touch the suspension when doing the radiator support.

you may just need to settle the suspension on the ground or drive it to bring it back to normal

Genevadirt: Yeah i read the diy alignment.

mechanicaldj: I had to cut out the whole radiator support. So i took off the sway bar, axles. Unbolted the outer tie rod and inner tie rod from the knuckle.

there still should be no alignment change just by unbolting parts as you described. the sway bar only locates the wheels for caster. and if all you did was remove the outer tierod end from the knuckle, you should have no change in toe angle either.

mmmm, i hope it'll change when i put it down. Maybe the strut has just moved from hanging there for a while.
